I was recently told that my blood sugar was almost borderline high? I am wondering what is normal range. It was not a fasting blood sugar test and they didn t even ask me when I had eaten. I don t know how they could know it was high. I had eaten within 2 hours of the blood draw and they said my blood sugar was 119. Is that high? How worried should I be?
Hello, If your blood glucose is 119 mg, within 2 hours of taking food, it is unlikely to be a problematic situation. I am giving the criteria for deciding whether someone has diabetes or not :1)Normal : FBG 70 - 110 mg, PPB: 2) Pre-diabetes : FBG: 108 to 125 mg, PP:141 to 199 mg, HbA1c%:5.9 to 6.4.3)Diabetes: FBG: 126 mg and above, PPB: 200 mg and above & HbA1c%: 6.5 and above. Fasting glucose is tested after 10 to 12 hours after dinner, PP is tested after 2 hours of food and Random is at any time (this should be <140 mg for being normal). I hope your doubts are cleared. Thanks.
