Is 147 high blood sugar?

Question

i have gestational diabetes and was wondering if this is considered high?

Answer 1

no... itz not high... try to stay betwen 90-120... 150 or higher is considered high... and 0-70 is considered lo... 70-90 is considered good, but u might wanna take a snack... i am also diabetic!

Answer 2

The asker is pregnant - the targets for pregnancy are more stringent than for regular diabetics.

120 or less one hour after eating

under 100 fasting (my doc wants me under 90)

For pregnancy this is too high.  Don't sweat it if it's one time, but if your sugars are routinely hanging out this high after meals it is in the range that add complications to your labor/delivery.  So you'll need to get them down.  

Answer 3

Yes.  

Answer 4

a number between 90-150 is alright/normal. but anything higher is considered high  

Answer 5

    When was it taken?  If this is an hour after you ate, it is probably okay.  If it is 2 hours after you ate, then it is high.  If it is your morning fasting glucose, it is really high.

Answer 6

Three years ago it was near normal for 140 but the new rules are 70-104 is the winning score.

Answer 7

if u are a type one this is not that high if u are type 2 the just do some walking to keep it down this helps alot but dont walk over 45 min it might drop it to low if ur type 1

Answer 8

yes, that is high. You need to talk with your Dr about making arrangements for you to have a consultation with a diabetic educator.
