Blood Sugar 230 mg/dL: Is It Dangerous or Controllable?

Your body uses sugar for energy, and the amount of sugar in your blood is called blood sugar.

A reading of 230 mg/dL is higher than normal, so it can be scary to see.

One person asked on a website called Quora if this number is dangerous.

A doctor named Dr Rajiv Kovil explained that one reading is not the whole story.

The number means different things depending on when the test was done.

If you test before eating, it shows how much sugar your liver made overnight.

If you test after a meal, it shows that plus the sugar from the food you ate.

So a high number should not be ignored, but you need more information.

It is best to talk to a doctor to understand what the number means for you.
