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.
What else can I help you with?
If your blood sugar reading is 155 is that high?
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.
