What's a normal blood sugar level after eating?!
Question: What's a normal blood sugar level after eating.?
I'm 18 years old, 5'4, 105 pounds...I randomly decided to do one of those at-home blood sugar tests tonight after I had dinner. It was 139. Is that normal for after eating a meal.? My mom said she'd do the test again tomorrow before I've eaten anything. But before that, I was just curious if that seems high..thanks anyone who answers! :)Health Question & Answer
Answers:
yup it's very normal after you have had your supper, anything below 140 after you have eaten within the past two hours is fine =)
if you're doing it in the morning.. given that you haven't eaten anything within the past 8-10 hours (since you're prolly sleeping before that :P) then it should range from around 70 to no more than 100.
oh but every time before you prick your finger, make sure you have washed your hands with soap and water so things on your skin wouldn't affect your results!!Health Question & Answer

It does seem high . It will regulate after a few hours . You should do another test within a few hours of that one test . My son is 10 years old and a type 1 diabetic and his range is from 70 - 150 . That is being a diabetic . Now for non diabetics it should be any where from 88 to 110.Health Question & Answer
Its a little high. Question. Why were you looking.? Is it in the family.? Let your Dr. know, he may do more accurate testing, and probably keep an eye on them. Dont panic. RickHealth Question & Answer
