BG 159 before I eat & 107 2 hours after I eat

QUESTION: I don't understand why my BG levels are lower 2 hours "after I eat" ... for instance 159 before I eat & then 2 hours later 107. Do you have any ideas?


ANSWER: Hi Michael,

To me, your BG are not worrisome. It is very good that your BG is lower 2 hours after eating. It is an indication that your pancreas is still able to produce and secrete insulin, and this insulin is well-functioning.

Your high blood glucose before eating would suggest that your daily activities (e.g., stress, working, etc) would influence your BG and make them raise.

However, my assumptions are done in lack of your medical data regarding your general health status, whether you are diabetic or not, what type, etc.

I hope you will go on with your good control of BG finding out what factors influence them in order to avoid them or definitely eliminate.

All the best!
