is 122 blood sugar high

A blood sugar level of 122 mg/dL can be interpreted differently depending on when the measurement was taken:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating): A level of 122 mg/dL is considered elevated and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes. Normal fasting blood sugar levels are typically between 70-99 mg/dL.
• Postprandial (after eating): A level of 122 mg/dL is generally within the normal range for someone without diabetes, as blood sugar levels can rise temporarily after meals.

If your fasting blood sugar is consistently around 122 mg/dL, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible testing, such as an A1C test, to assess your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months.
