Blood sugar levels are typically measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Assuming you are referring to blood glucose levels in mg/dL, a blood sugar level of 8.2 mg/dL is not high.

In most countries that use the mg/dL unit, a blood sugar level of 8.2 mg/dL would be considered within the normal range for a fasting blood glucose test. However, it's important to note that "normal" ranges can vary slightly depending on the specific laboratory or healthcare system.

For a fasting blood glucose test, the normal range is generally considered to be around 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L). A level of 8.2 mg/dL would fall within this range.

However, blood sugar levels can fluctuate throughout the day based on various factors such as food intake, physical activity, stress, and other health conditions. If you have specific concerns about your blood sugar levels, it's best to discuss them with your healthcare provider who can interpret the results in the context of your overall health and medical history.
