193 is rather high, but you did not say when you tested it. If you tested it about an hour after you ate a big meal, that might very well be a normal reading.
However, the normal range for a fasting blood sugar is from about 70 to about 120.

Everyone has some sugar in their blood. The normal amount of sugar in the blood ranges from about 70 to about 120 in people who don't have diabetes. Blood sugar goes up after eating, but returns to the normal range in 1 or 2 hours.
A good blood sugar range for most poeple with diabetes is from about 70 to 150. This is before a meal--like before breakfast or 4 to 5 hours after you last meal. Your blood sugar should be less than 200 about 2 hours after your last meal.

The normal range is 80 - 120. This is an 8 hour fasting range. (When nothing has been eaten for at least 8 hours).
193 is not a bad range if you had something to eat 2 hours before it was taken.

The Normal range is between 85 - 110...yes your sugar is quite high, but you also must take into account of how long it's been since you last ate.
I'd suggest seeing your doctor for a fasting HbaG1C hemoglobin test.

that's high. Simply stated, normal is considered between 80 and 120.
Was this a fasting blood sugar or after meal?
Fasting means its been a while since you've had a meal, and if it is that high fasting that isn't good. After meal blood sugar shouldn't be that high either, but this can usually be remedied by changing your diet. Check out:

It depends on WHEN that number was recorded. If it was fasting, that is too high. If it was an hour or two after a meal, then record what you had for that meal and try to avoid that combination again as it had a negative effect on your glucose control. Learn from this as no single reading of this level is catastrophic.

anything above 90 is high. check again every 30 mins to an hour. check what it is before and after you have eaten and note how long after the meal it was if it stays above 90 make an app. with a doctor. most likely it is diabetes.

Yes, it's high, a normal number is anywhere between 110 and 120.
