After a meal, glucose levels rise. This causes the pancreas to excrete insulin. Insulin causes cells in the liver, fat, and muscle tissue to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. This makes the blood glucose levels decrease again to a normal rate.

No, that's perfect for BGL's (Blood Glucose Levels). We are more concerned If your glucose levels stay above 130, two hours after a meal.
Name two principal sources of blood glucose?
During fasting the glucose is relaesed from intracellular glycogen stores in the liver (produced by glucogenolysis). After a meal blood glucose is acquired from the diet.
What hormone has primary responsibility for lowering blood glucose levels after a meal?
insulin
Should you give your dog his insulin with his food?
Give insulin 30 minutes after meal. If checking your pet with a blood glucose meter, that is best to see what their blood glucose reading is. If their blood glucose is on the low side 75-100 give 1 tablespoon corn syrup or maple syrup before meal.
Insulin and Glucagon and what happens to the person has skipped e meal?
After a person has skipped a meal, the person's blood glucose level will stay at its normal level as there isn't any glucose absorbed. To maintain this normal blood glucose level, the pancreatic cells will secrete glucagon which stimulates the body to convert stored glycogen into glucose. There won't be any insulin secreted as insulin is only secreted when the blood glucose level increases beyond its normal level (for example, after a meal).
High concentration of glucose in the blood?
Hyperglycemia.
State which of the blood vessel would have the most glucose after a meal?
Hepatic Portal Vein
What word describing the lowering of the blood glucose level to normal after eating a meal?

Why blood sugar be dropped slowly in pediatric ketoacidocis patient?
A pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis patient has high blood glucose concentrations after taking a meal and this wil drop very slowly because the cells who produce insulin (the beta-cells of the pancreas) don't produce enough insulin. Insuline acts on the liver and other organs( this will decrease the blood glucose concentration).
Which of the following best describes the effect of a fiber-rich meal on the rise in blood glucose that occurs after a meal?
The more fiber a meal contains the more it will dilute the gastrointestinal contents. This dilution will slow down the digestion/absorption of the stomach contents in return delaying the rise in blood glucose.More fiber - less of a glucose spikeLess fiber- more of a spike in glucose
Post prandial blood sugar?
Post-prandial means "after a meal". Thus, a post-prandial blood glucose represent the blood sugar value obtained after eating a meal. At the 2 hour point the goal is around 8 mol/l
Is 543 high for a glucose reading?
Yes. What we call fasting blood sugar or blood glucose levels is usually done six to eight hours after the last meal. So it's most commonly done before breakfast in the morning; and the normal range there is 70 to 100 milligrams per deciliter.Now when you eat a meal, blood sugar generally rises and in a normal individual it usually does not get above a 135 to 140 milligrams per deciliter.
