quick question

I took a blood test over at my friends house on his little diabetes blood monitor and it said 183  6-2 what does that mean is that good or bad

[Dr. Kokil Mathur]

Hi!
Well, any reading above 180 is not good, but since it is just above 180 its not bad either. Also, a fasting blood sugar of 132 is high. Just a single day’s reading of 24 hours is not enough to diagnose a condition as it may be related to something you ate. You may be pre-diabetes or early diabetes. It is important to get a fasting blood sugar, PP blood sugar (two hours after meals), and Hb1Ac (to know your sugar control of last 3 months).
Please consult your PCP for primary examination. Take care!
