It actually depends on when the level was tested. For glucose levels to be the most accurate, you should test them early in the morning before eating, or while fasting. You may also test them at least two hours after eating.
A healthy glucose level under the right conditions is usually between 70 and 125. A reading of 132 (again, under the right conditions) could be a sign of Diabetes or other serious health condition.
It is also important to note that one individual reading is not enough information to make an assessment. For the best results, test glucose levels two to three times day for about seven to ten days. If your readings are consistently oustide the recommended range, then you should consult with a physician for a full evaluation.

When blood glucose level rises the pancreas secretes insulin and as a result blood glucose level declines when blood glucose level is low the pancreas secretes glycogen and as a result blood glucose?
Catalytic feedback
How is the level of sugar in vertebrate blood kept constant?
The blood sugar level is controlled mainly by two hormones.1.Insulin 2.Glucagon.Both hormones are secreted from Pancreas. When blood glucose level (sugar level) increases, Insulin is secreted from beta cells of islets of Langerhans in Pancreas. it increases the cellular uptake of glucose which in turn reduce the glucose level in the blood. When glucose level decreases in the blood, Alpha cells secrete Glucagon. It decrease the uptake of glucose by cells and increase glucose level.Over level of glucose also expelled through urine (Diabetes Mellitus)Mainly insulin & Glucagon are the controllers of blood glucose level.
What organ in the body detects changes in blood glucose level?
the liver
What does the pancreas secrete to raise glucose level?
The islets of Langerhans, part of the pancreas, secretes glucagon that raises the glucose level when it is needed to regulate the blood sugar level.
What does GLUCOSE mean in a blood test?
It is the glucose level (the amount of it) in your blood. Added 2/17/11: Glucose, which can also be listed as GLU on a lab report, is a chemical name for SUGAR. The normal level of glucose / sugar in your blood should stay between 70 - 110. Blood glucose levels that stay elevated above 125 over a period of time could mean that you have a disease called diabetes.

What is the hormonal response to a decrease in blood glucose level?
The hormonal response to decrease in blood glucose is glucagon.... which actually increases the blood glucose level...
What is blood glucose level and why you?
Blood glucose is the level of sugars in the blood. Some glucose sugar in the blood is normal, however lower or higher than normal levels can indicate medical issues, particularly diabetes
Where can I check my glucose level if I am going on a glucose diet in the future?
You can check your glucose level at any one of the drug stores. Walgreens has a glucose machine and you can check your glucose level, blood pressure and cholesterol level.
What effect does excess secretion of epinephrine do to the blood glucose level?

What does insulin control the level of in blood?
Blood sugar (or what is more specifically known as blood glucose level).

What are the term used when the person having blood glucose level below and above the critical level?
The term used when a person has high levels of glucose circulating in the blood is Hyperglycemia. For someone who has low levels of glucose the term is Hypoglycemia.Hyperglycemia- The term used when blood glucose levels are too high.Hypoglycemia- The term used when blood glucose levels are too low.The general term for a rapid loss or gain of glucose is 'glucose shock.'A fasting blood glucose level above 126 milligrams per deciliter is considered hyperglycemic. A blood glucose level of below 50 milligrams per deciliter is considered hypoglycemic.
