Blood sugar varies a lot over the day, between about 67mg/dL and about 140mg/dL in normal people. The lower levels are expected when fasting (like when you have just woken up), and the higher levels right after eating and for about 2 hours. If you have just woken up after not eating for 8 hours, then 126mg/dL is considered too high and a likely sign of Diabetes. Above about 180, your kidneys will start to filter out sugar and excrete it in urine, leading to the primary symptoms of diabetes: dehydration, excessive urination, and gradual starvation. Above this level for long periods of time (weeks) can cause cumulative damage to organs, eyes, fingers and toes.

425-900+ is life threatening immediately and may lead to diabetic coma.
