A normal reading is the mid to high 5's, and once you start to hit the mid 6's, you need to start taking a serious look at your lifestyle, as you will/may start up the ladder. One reading is not sufficient to say either way. You need to go to your doctor and ask for Hemoglobin HgA1c test, as this test will give you a picture of the average amount of glucose in your blood over a normally 3 month period.

It really is something to be taken seriously.
