If your blood sugar is 270 Is that high?

A normal blood sugar reading should hit between 80 - 120. If the blood sugar levels are higher than this range, it is referred to as hyperglycemia. If the blood sugar levels are lower than this range, it is referred to as hypoglycemia. To specifically answer you question: 270 mg/dl Blood sugar is high, however, it should not be anything to be worried about, just give yourself the correct ammount of insulin as correction, (careful not to overdose and go into hypoglycemia) and carry on with life.
