A member asked:
My glucose is 200 with food. am taking metformin(500mg) one after breakfast, and one after dinner. is my glucose in danger level with food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Frequency: A single reading of 200 after eating is not as concerning as repeated levels of over 200 over several days. Many factors affect post-prandial (after meal) glucose. Meals with adequate protein, fat and fiber will help slow glucose absorption and may improve post-prandial glucose levels. Alternatively diabetic or other meds may need to be increased/adjusted.
