so with my levels being between 91 and 120 after 2 hours of eating is that normal and what is not normal thank

Question

can someone tell me what dieties numbers are my sugar in the morning as been as high as 113 maybe a bit higher but not much but not to high after eating

Answer 1

70 to 140 in the morning, so yours is fine, and under 200 2 hrs after eating, you are doing well actually.

Answer 2

I just went to diabetes classes. They said that these numbers are best:

The American Diabetes Association recommends:
Fasting or before a meal 80-120 (now starting to recommend 70-100 is best, tho)
Two hours after a meal under 180

The American College of Endocrinology recommends:
Fasting or before a meal under 110
Two hours after a meal under 140

I have learned, tho, that if you are on a pump, you may need to have a bit higher numbers (such as 120 or below for fasting and before meals). There are also many other factors determining what your blood sugars should be.

As for having your blood sugar about 113 for fasting is excellent. And having it between 91 and 120 two hours after eating, I think, is a bit too low, especially if you are on insulin. If you are on pills or control with diet and exercise, then that shouldn't be a problem, but you really don't want it too much below 120 2 hours after eating or else it will get too low before your next meal.

What is recommended for food, to keep the blood sugars at a normal range (I think this would have a lot to do with your blood sugars, so wanted to add it), is to have a total of at least 130 to 142 grams of carbs a day (need this much a day for the brain to function properly, and your body to work right, etc). A woman needs about 45 grams of carbs a meal; a man needs about 60 grams of carbs a meal. And about 30 grams of carbs for snacks for everyone.

Good luck! It sounds as if you are doing a great job of keeping your diabetes and blood sugars where they should be.

Answer 3

That appears to be normal, since tests are done after not eating for about 8 hours (overnight) overnight perfect scores are about 78. One would have more sugar in their blood 2 hours after eating than 8 hours. 91 and 120 are even acceptable after 8 hours fasting although 120 is approaching slightly high on the 8 hour deal.

Answer 4

2 hours after eating the blood sugar result should be less than 200 mg/dl.
Is there a family history of diabetes in the family? Are you overweight or obese? There are alot of patients how having diabetes even if they dont have a family history. There is syndrome x which includes hypercholesterolemia, diabetes etc.
Diabetes is a global problem nowadays & prevention is the first step for all of us. Meaning even if we dont have the disease, we already start dieting if we are overweight or obese.
We try to avoid soft drinnks, if cant be avoided take diet. The best is water. Avoid too much of fruits, eat moderately because too much fruits can also increase your sugar. For example , during seasons of mango, eat only 1 mango. Dont eat a kilo of it. For diabetics, a slice is ok for each meal. Instead of eating quarter pounder, we just eat plain hamburger. There are alternatives. If you overeat for lunch, try to compensate for dinner. Add on exercise, at least 30 minutes 3x a week. It increases your HDL, or the good cholesterol.

Answer 5

Ack! Sweetie, diabetics have really high blood sugars upon first diagnosis, upwards of 400 in some. According to everything I learned as a paramedic, your blood sugar is perfectly normal.
A normal blood sugar reading will usually fall between 80-120, so 113 falls right in the middle. If you are worried about it, and are having symptoms of diabetes (excessive thirst, excessive hunger, excessive urination, fatigue, weight loss) go to your doctor to get checked out, even if it's just a hint of concern. This website is no substitute for medical advice. And ignore the CNA above me, please. I treat people for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) at anything below 70, and if your sugar goes up to 180, that's a definite cause for concern. The numbers she quoted are the preferred ranges for people with diabetes who want to stay healthy, but they are out of the normal range for people who don't have diabetes.
Hope this helps...

Answer 6

Oh, those numbers are normal. I'm a CNA and care for diabetics. Between 60 and 180 are pretty much your guidelines for a normal range.
