Where should you blood sugar fall 1/2 hours after eating

[dberg]

Healthy blood sugar I mean.

1/2 before eating mine was 91.

1/2 hour after eating in was 188!

What range should it be in?

I don't belive you should check at 1/2 hr. If you are not pregnant, you should check 2 hrs after, and if you are pregnant, depening on the doc, 1 hr after (I still do 2). I am supposed to be under 120 2 hrs after eating. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I agree, I'm pretty sure you should wait an hour or two after eating to check. That is when I have checked mine and I ussually fall in the range of 107-114 which my Doc. says is still kinda high, although I didn't think so compared to what it has been in the past. I'm not a Doc. so don't quote me on this but I think normal range is between 80-120. You should ask a medical professional to be sure.

I'm a medical professional, and I will second that. 80-120 is what we consider at our clinic.

But it does vary depending on the lab you go to. Some say 70-110, others will say 65-125.

I think it's horrible. At one lab, if you have 116, they'll tell you you are diabetic when you're not!

This doesn't happen very often, but I think it's just a huge discrepancy.

I take mine 1 hr after eating and it is supposed to be 140 or under. 2hrs after eating it should be 120 or under. My problem is the fasting blood sugar. The endo said 80 or under and the ob/gyn said 105 or under, that 80 was waaaaay too low. I've also read in one of my pg books that fasting should be 105 or under. I would ask your dr if you have any issues. If he told you to check at 1/2 hr he should tell you what the number should be.

Good luck!
