Is 169 high for checking your sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Depending on the timing this could be very high (if you have not taken any calories in for a while) or moderately elevated (right after a big meal.) in either case that reading is high enough to discuss with your doctor and have further testing.
