Blood sugar two hours after meal

Diabetes is a common disease. It is very harmful and can cause many complications. The most common ones are renal failure and cataracts. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to changes in blood sugar at all times. Especially when the blood sugar of diabetic patients is unstable, they need to observe their blood sugar every day. Many patients are not clear about the specific value of their blood sugar. Let’s learn about it together today.

Blood sugar levels are generally measured before and after meals. The blood sugar levels after meals are also divided into three time periods: half an hour, one hour, and two hours after meals. The corresponding time periods have normal ranges for blood sugar levels. Only by careful observation can we draw the final conclusion to see whether our blood sugar is normal and stable. Let's learn about the relevant content below.

Methods/Steps

1Normal fasting blood sugar value:

The normal index is 3.9-6.1mmol/L (millimole), and the blood sugar index should be less than 6.2. If the fasting blood sugar level is higher than normal, greater than or equal to 6.7, twice the test is repeated, it can generally be diagnosed as diabetes.

2 Normal blood sugar levels after meals

(Two hours after meal): The normal index is 3.9-7.8mmol/L (millimole), and the blood sugar index should be lower than 7.8. If the blood sugar level is higher than normal after two repeated tests two hours after a meal, diabetes can generally be diagnosed. If the result is greater than or equal to 7.8, further glucose tolerance test is required for diagnosis.

3. Generally, blood sugar before meal >7.0 mmol/l or blood sugar ≥7.8 2 hours after meal is basically normal, but this is only for reference. It is recommended to go to the hospital for regular specialist examinations such as glucose tolerance, islet function, insulin antibodies, etc. to conduct accurate disease evaluation, individualized treatment based on standardization, and fine dynamic control. Early detection and timely treatment. Do not blindly use medication to avoid delaying the disease!

Everyone knows the blood sugar value two hours after a meal. When measuring blood sugar, you must ensure that your fingers are clean and dry to avoid contaminating the blood and affecting the blood sugar value. In addition, if the blood sugar value is much higher than the normal range, you must seek medical attention in time. Do not take medicine at will at home. There are many reasons for high blood sugar, and each symptom requires different medicines, so everyone should take medicines as prescribed by the doctor.
