so my wife and i were playing with a blood glucose meter and her blood was 93 and mine was 123. Is 123 normal?
Should i be worried that my blood was at 123????
A non-diabetic’s fasting glucose typically does not exceed 100 mg/dL or 5.6 mmol/L and a non-diabetic’s 2 hour post-prandial (after meal) glucose typically does not exceed 140 mg/dL or 7.8 mmol/L. Please note that I say ‘typically’ as there will be some variation from day to day. Also the diagnosis should never be based upon a single glucose reading. Thus the answer to your question depends upon whether or not this was a fasting glucose. If it was a fasting glucose then you need to obtain a fasting and 2 hour post-prandial glucose reading tomorrow. If these readings are above the reference range offered above then a visit to your physician would be warranted. If your glucose reading was after eating then it was quite normal. If I may be of further assistance please let me know. I wish you the very best of health and in all things may God bless.

playing wiht a glucose meter?? that’s a medical tool not a toy. Why bother testing your sugar if you have no idea what the data means?
Any way – both numbers are fine. In the future, if you suspect an illness, see a doctor.

Depends. Did you just eat something? Candy bar, soda, potato chips? If you did, it could spike you up that much easily. If you just got up and hadn’t had anything yet, or otherwise hadn’t eaten for hours, that’s not so good. It’s worth a glucose tolerance test to make sure. The sooner you catch diabetes the more likely you are to learn to control it.

First, you must consider the time you measured, is it fasting or random?. Your level indicates pre-diabetes, however, further tests (fasting blood glucose or A1C or oral glucose tolerance test) are recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
Normal levels : 80 – 100
Normal fasting blood glucose : 80 – 100
Normal oral glucose tolerance test: <140
Normal A1C: 4 – 6%
