Blood sugar

Yes, that's normal. It can rise up to 8.5 after meals. The main thing is that it returns to its normal level. Sugar should not be below 5. The glucose level in the body should be 50%, which corresponds to 5.

Age? If young, then there is an excess. The norm is 6, for the elderly the norm is 7.

There's absolutely no elevation at all! Firstly, it depends on what you've eaten. Secondly, glucose returns exactly to its normal level after 1.5 hours. A deviation is if it doesn't drop, a deviation is if it sharply falls below 5, and all the signs of hypoglycemia are visibly apparent. I've written lab reports and a coursework on this topic. Everyone's blood sugar level rises after eating. Moreover, I'll reveal a terrible secret to you: fasting sugar isn't tested! Otherwise, you can't see the real picture. That's why we have so much undetected diabetes at an early stage.

If someone eats a piece of bread and their sugar spikes above 15, that's already not normal. Yet on an empty stomach, they'll have the coveted 5. So they'll live a few years with undetected diabetes, until they end up in intensive care with sugar at 35.

No excess.

The normal fasting blood sugar level is considered to be between 3.3 and 5.5 mmol/litre. Two hours after a meal, the glucose level may rise to 7.8 mmol/litre.

If fasting levels are between 5.5 and 6.7 mmol/litre and post-meal levels are between 7.8 and 11.0 mmol/litre, impaired glucose tolerance is diagnosed.

Diabetes mellitus is diagnosed if fasting levels exceed 6.7 mmol/litre and two hours after a meal exceed 11.0 mmol/litre.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fasting:
Normal: 3.3 - 5.5 mmol/l
Prediabetes: 5.6 - 7 mmol/l
Diabetes mellitus: 7 mmol/l and above

-----------------------------------------------------
The normal glucose curve is as follows:
fasting – plasma glucose level less than 6.1 mmol/l,
two hours after oral glucose intake, the level should be less than 7.8 mmol/l.
-----------------------------------------------------

A glucose level exceeding 11 mmol/l after two hours indicates diabetes mellitus.
-----------------------------
If the fasting glucose level is 7.0 mmol/l or higher, and two hours after a meal it is 11.1 mmol/l or higher,
this indicates that the person has serious issues with the pancreas, which have led to the development of diabetes mellitus.

A fasting blood sugar concentration of less than 7.0 mmol/l but more than 5.5 mmol/l,
and two hours later in the range of 7.8–11.0 mmol/l,
indicates impaired glucose tolerance (a prediabetic state).

My fasting level is 5.5

And I decided to measure glucose not after 2 hours, but after an hour,
after eating 4 boiled potatoes! )))

Try it, and measure yours! You'll be gobsmacked ))

You've picked info from Google. My info is from medical documentation and endocrinology lectures. Sugar shouldn't be below 5. 4 is already hypoglycaemia. I won't even mention a fasting level of 3.3. With such sugar, a person would be a typical sweet tooth. From a lack of glucose. Glucose in the body should be 50%.

Few people nowadays meticulously delve into this issue... people have plenty of other concerns, but essentially, it's very important because, for example, issues like high blood sugar may not show any symptoms at all... that's what happened to me, and now I have insulin resistance. I manage by counting bread units and always taking Olidzhim tablets. They help bring blood sugar back to normal, which, by the way, is crucial for pancreatic health.

Why after 1.5 hours? The standard is 2 hours?

What's endocrinology got to do with it? This is clinical diagnostics. What do you mean 'glucose in the body'? That's illiterate. Glucose exists in SERUM, in PLASMA, and in WHOLE CAPILLARY BLOOD. And in all three cases, the values will be different. You're watching the wrong lectures.

Hello, I came across your answer about blood sugar. It would be interesting to hear from someone who has studied this topic about what causes and what kind of imbalance occurs when blood sugar drops after eating... I've been suffering from this ailment for over 3 years, doctors just shrug their shoulders. I'd be grateful.

But what about the norm of 7.8?

Apple cider vinegar helps me keep my sugar levels normal. Two teaspoons in a glass of water and drink it 30 minutes after dinner. Yesterday before bed my sugar was 5.5 and in the morning 5.7. Not sure why it's higher in the morning but still not 7.3-7.5 like it used to be.

Hello, how are you treating it? I've also started having sugar drop after eating.

Today I measured my colleague's at work, there was a glucometer, it showed 1.19, is that low? Or is the glucometer glitching? It's brand new, straight out of the box. I've been battling an illness related to the gastrointestinal tract for a year and a half, hunger, every 3 hours, dizziness, nausea.

Same here 🤦🏻♀️, in the evening 6.3, and in the morning 6.6 or 7.0

Hello! I have the same thing, after eating sugar is lower than on an empty stomach. It would be interesting to know what this means.

And if blood sugar doesn't rise after eating, what does that mean?

I was gobsmacked: fasting sugar 5.8. 1 hour after breakfast 11.4. 2 hours later 5.8. I don't get a bloody thing.

That's all normal for you. What are you gobsmacked about?

My fasting blood sugar ranges from 5.0 to 5.8. The other day it was even 4.8 once. Two hours after eating, it's around 5.8 to 6.4. I did a provocation test—ate potatoes with meat plus a handful of sweet black grapes—and after two hours it was 6.9. What concerns me is the fasting sugar of 5.8....

Well, of course)) my fasting level is 4.2, 2 hours after eating it's 4.8, I always feel absolutely fine. 45-60 minutes after eating it's 6.8.

Why then get blood tests on an empty stomach, starving yourself for 10/12 hours, if glucose returns to normal after 1.5 hours?

It could even go up to 15, depending on what you eat.

I also had issues with blood sugar, but managed to sort them out fairly quickly, and thank God it didn't progress to diabetes... I drank Evalar Bio tea for diabetes. That's what it's called. It contains goat's rue, buckwheat, and blackcurrant. It's tasty, aromatic, and has proven to be excellent.

I don't understand. I had my blood glucose tested at the lab, and the result was 5.4. At home, I measure with a glucometer, and it's 6.2 after eating. Two hours after a meal, it's 5.5, sometimes 6.5. I also had my glycated haemoglobin tested, and the result was 4.7%.

That's normal

And were you on a diet?

Blood sugar was 6.7 in the morning, and 5.6 two hours later.

Hello, after 1 hour mine is 10.0 and after two hours 6.0, 32 weeks, is this normal?

And mine drops sharply after eating.....

Hello! How are you feeling now? I've been struggling with this for about 5 years. The condition is getting worse and worse. Doctors don't pay attention because a diabetes diagnosis hasn't been established. Tell me, to what levels does your sugar drop?

How I wish my blood sugar were higher; I get hypoglycemia from everything... The doctors are at a loss... It happens with the slightest movement.

Hello
Could you tell me in more detail, what was your fasting level?

I have the same story.

It doesn't return to normal after 1.5 hours, but after 3-4 hours.

Здраствуйте!скажите пжл а таб Олиджим вы пьете в какое время до или после еды и ск.раз в день пьете спасибоза отает

Аналогично. Утром 6,5 или 6,7 , через час после углеводной еды 8,9 , а еще через час 5,2, после белкоаой еды черрз час 7,5 и еще через час 5,4. Утром высокий сахар зимой из за темноты. Живу на севере. Так что все тип топ
