A member asked:
Gluc levels great 3-4 hours after a meal (78-85). but higher 8-10 hours after a meal (90-100). is the fact that it rises after more time concerning?

Glucose: The numbers you quoted are not really concerning. The glucose typically rises if you stay fasting for a long period of time since you liver start converting glycogen to glucose to provide a continuous supply of glucose.

Sugar: You are taking spot sugars and I am glad none are greater than 100. However the most revealing blood sugar is your fasting. Take your blood sugar when you first get up. This is the most helpful. Either way, follow a low glycemic diet, exercise and drink water regularly.
