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.
Insulin is the hormone that is secreted when blood glucose levels are high. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by signaling cells to take up glucose from the bloodstream for energy or storage.
If blood glucose levels are too high, the pancreas will secrete insulin. Insulin helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells for energy production and storage.
Movement of glucose from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is known as passive transport or diffusion. Glucose molecules move down their concentration gradient in this process, requiring no energy input from the cell.
High blood levels of glucose stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells for energy production and storage.
Yes it will affect the reading you get (not your actual blood glucose). If you have food (especially sugary food) on your finger where you take the drop of blood from, then the sugar from the food will mix with the blood and give a false reading. This is why it is important to wash the finger before testing blood glucose.
its a little high.
Yes. Normal is around 120.
NO, in fact it is a perfect reading. a normal glucose level is usually anywhere from 80 to 120.

Wartburg College's 2014 25th-75th percentile SAT Critical Reading Scores are 420-543, meaning 25% of students scored 420 or lower on the Critial Reading portion of the SAT, and 75% of students scored 543 or lower (i.e. 25% of students scored 543 or higher).
It is bad to have a high amount of glucose in your urine because you will be diagnosed with diabetes. A slightly raised glucose reading can also indicate pregnancy.
The average blood sugar reading should be 70 to 120. The reading should be attained at least one hour after eating, but would be more accurate at 2 hours after eating. To answer your question, it is not extremely high, but it is slightly above average.
A fasting blood glucose of 137 is a concern. A random blood glucose of 137 is not a concern.
543
a high reading for what?
i have a blood glucose level of 116 is that high
543 is not prime. 543 = 3 * 181
