What Does A Blood Sugar Level Of '232' Suggest?

I just started testing my blood suger. My first finger stick was at the Dr's office this morning. Is 232 pretty bad ?I want to ditch this whole thing and not test every day.I screwed up the test here at home and I can't get the lancet out of the device, so I covered it up and maybe tomorrow I'll go back to the Doc to get retrained.Is 232 so bad I have to test every single day ?I quit all cokes three weeks ago, I was drinking 4 a day.Plus I now walk 30 minutes, five days a week.My weight is 246. Is 232 bad ?

HI there,I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
in my opinion sugar level is 232mg/dl is not a good value.
but i would like to suggest you to go for Hba1c because its a better indicator of blood sugar than a finger prick test as it gives your average sugar for 3 months and no need to be fasting.
i am very happy to know that you gave up cock and you are doing some exercise.
you weight is also little bit high and by reducing your weigh and reaching BMI to 25 will help you in keeping diabetes a way.
kindly do Hba1c for better diagnosis of the issue
Hope I was able to help you.
If you have any further question fell free to write me back.I will be happy to help.
Take care.
Best Regards.
