Everyone's blood sugar raises a bit after they eat a meal or a snack. An increase of 20 points or so is normal. After about 2 hours, the blood sugar should return to normal (and remember this can vary so we're talking averages here). However, in diabetics blood sugar can raise much more than 20 points, sometimes even more than 100 points if it isn't controlled well, and it may stay high for longer.
This is the main reason doctors usually want to test your glucose levels at least 2 hours AFTER you've eaten.
One of the worst things for a diabetic is the roller coaster ride of glucose levels, really high and then low. This can lead to very serious health complications.
2 hours after eating, it should be under 180. If you find its consistently running over 200 after meals, it would be wise to notify your doctor to talk about your medication regimen and diet plan. If you follow a low carbohydrate diet and exercise, you can help control your blood sugar with less medication.
If you are not a diabetic, your blood sugar should be normal (70-145 mg/dl)2 hours after a meal.
Normal postprandial levels vary, but are approximately 120-140 mg/dl no more than 2 hours after eating. Higher levels are indicative of glucose intolerance.
Not more then 140
No higher than 140
About 140
170
It completely depends on when you tested your blood glucose. If it was a fasting number, meaning it was taken before any food was consumed, then I would speak with your doctor. Fasting blood sugars over 126 is considered to be "diabetic". If you got that reading, after eating, it also depends on how long after eating, you tested your blood glucose. If it was 2 hours, or more, after eating, I would keep an eye on it, and speak with your doctor.
I did have blood and the runs after eating Activia; runs for past week and a half + blood
It rises. 2 hours after eating a diabetics blood sugar level should be lower that 180.
A normal sugar level is currently considered to be less than 100 mg/dL when fasting and less than 140 mg/dL two hours after eating. But in most healthy people, sugar levels are even lower.
I have only had one person pass out from a tattoo. To the best of my knowledge it was from lack of eating and low blood sugar. This person was not diabetic but he had expressed to me that he had not eaten in about nine hours. i usually tell my clients to have eaten something within 2 hours of getting tattood. So far so good!
Two hours after your last bite
no if you have just eaten then that good if in 2 hours it's not down take insulin trust me im diabetic
According to American Diabetes Association it should be under 120 mg/dL 2 hours after meals. Paul Larn <a href="http://www.simplediagnostics.com">Blood Glucose Meter</a>
yes absolutely.why? because you are not suppose to take sugar at all. you should run away from it completely. At this point sugar is dangerous for your health. There are some number of diabetic diet plan,you need to follow such plan
After eating food/meal the blood sugar will spike for up to 2 hours and then work its way back down to a fasting state. Carbs do turn to sugar and if to much carbs are taken into the body this can raise the blood sugar levels too.
Yes you should not it for 4 hours prior to test
A normal blood glucose level is less than 100mg/dL when fasting and less than 140 mg/dL two hours after eating. A blood glucose level and blood sugar reading are the same thing. A person with higher than normal levels could be diabetic or be diagnosed with pre diabetes. There are several different tests that can be taken for diabetes but it is especially important to get checked if one has a family history of diabetes.
