Q: what is a normal blood sugar level approximately 4 hours after eating breakfast?

Should be < 140mg/dL: You're best off looking at a 2 hr post meal blood sugar because by the time 4 hours have gone by, blood sugar may have come down from a much higher value.

Q: i am diabetic since 5 years,for the last 5 years my fasting blood glucose in between 125-134 mg/dl and my blood sugar level two hours after eati?

Excellent: It appears that you keep diabetes under excellent control Do you check your Hemoglobin A1C yearly.

Q: after breakfast blood sugar 140..two hours later 78 after lunch 109 two hours later 66 is this normal?

Blood sugars vary: I presume since you're checking your blood sugar that you are diabetic. Blood sugars vary all the time. They peak after a meal, but then fall if you are not diabetic, or if your therapy is good. The important measure is the two hour after eating measurement and your levels are excellent! good work. And if you want tight control, i would urge you to check two hours and before your next meal.

Q: shortly after breakfast i checked my blood sugar and it was 152. is this of concern? was told healthy/normal people's levels shouldn't go over 140.

Needs follow up: Your post eating glucose is high. Need to follow up with your physician as soon as possible.

Q: i had glucose in urine test & a normal blood test. waiting to do another urinalysis & blood test. meanwhile, i used my aunt's glucometer and my blood sugar is 5.2 before breakfast & 5.3 two hours after breakfast today. can i still have diabetes?

: I think you asked this question before with a slightly different statement. Diabetes mellitus is ruled out with normal blood test and fasting glycemia 5.2 mmol/L and 2 hour postprandial glycemia of 5.3 mmol/L. Glucose in the urine could be lab error because it is a chemical test using reagent on the stick, not a quantitative test. If glucosuria is confirmed, kidney problem needs to be ruled out.

Q: help! is getting a 3.2 blood sugar level before breakfast bad?

Unclear info: Please provide the complete result with the units of measure. What you provided is not consistent with the usual measure in the USA.

Q: when my blood sugar level is 10.0 mmol or 10.3 mmol i get hypoglycemia in the early morning before breakfast. i take mixtard30 by 35 iu, 2 times a day. but before lunch at 3.30 sometime 7.4 / 7.7 mmol not hypo as morning! please your helpful suggest?

: I'm confused. We use units of mgs when looking at blood sugar levels, but when I look at conversion tables,10 mmol equates to 180 mgs and 7.2 mmols converts to 130 mgs. These are not hypoglycemic levels of sugar. Is your HgbA1c less than 7% which is considered controlled? I've never worked with Mixtard 30/35. Perhaps in the early morning hours your blood sugar level goes from high to low too fast

Q: blood sugar after fasting 93..2 hours after breakfast it drops to 70..is this normal?

Normal: This is normal. Not sure why anyone with normal sugars would be testing them.

Q: blood sugar of 88 in a non diabetic two hours after breakfast, is this low? indicative of anything bad?

The blood sugar: of 88 is considered normal. Blood sugar fluctuates and depends on the calories in your diet. Nothing is wrong with this result.
