Fasting vs. Post-Eating Blood Glucose Levels?!
Question: I have been testing for the last three days.
I noticed that I have the best readings at fasting. (Waking averages 109, and half an hour after waking still fasting was 105.) (Two to three hours after eating jumps from 124 to 89.)
Half an hour after eating, I have had readings from 124 to 190 (which went down to 155 ten minutes later) with most of the readings around 140. An hour after eating, I have had a few readings of 101 and a few around 122, and one around 161.
Over all, there have been five readings above 140, and they were the first half hour after eating.
One hour after eating, three readings were above 120. At two hours after eating, two readings were above 120.
In determining whether a blood sugar problem exists, when I have asked questions here before, people seem most concerned with waking fasting readings being under 110 or under. Are high numbers after eating a concern?
Thanks

Tapas,
From your question, it is not certain if you have diabetes, prediabetes or are just enquiring because you have tested your blood serum for glucose. If this is the case, I add a link with details of the tests for these -

Diabetes means your blood serum / glucose (often called blood sugar) is too high. Everyone
