A blood sugar level of 142 mgdL indicates prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance; while it's not extremely high, it's essential to take proactive steps to manage your blood sugar levels and prevent progression to diabetes; consider consulting your doctor, who may recommend lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, weight management, and stress reduction, and may also suggest regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels and potentially prescribe medication or supplements to help regulate your blood sugar.

How does Type II diabetes cause weight gain?
Diabetics have raised blood sugar and when there is a lot of excess blood sugar in our blood stream, it signals our body to put that excess sugar in storage. We can store some sugar in our liver and muscles, however, when these are full our body start to store the extra sugar as fat. This of course starts to cause weight gain.
