A blood sugar level of 122 mg/dL can be considered elevated depending on the context:
- Fasting Blood Sugar: If measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours), a level of 122 mg/dL is higher than the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes (100–125 mg/dL).
- Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If measured 1–2 hours after eating, 122 mg/dL is within the normal range (typically less than 140 mg/dL).
What to Do:
- If fasting, consult your doctor for further evaluation, as this could indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
- If post-meal, continue monitoring your blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
