It is high, but how bad it is depends on medical conditions - if it is random, a non-diabetic can read as high as 159 after eating, but the same person should not be over 99 fasting. A diabetic should not be that high fasting, but can easily go higher than that after eating or when under stress (e.g.- on steroids).
