Normal: The FBG is a bit high. What are the pre-meal levels? After an initial rise in blood glucose with a meal, insulin is secreted from the pancreas, which drops the BG level at about an hour. So your findings are likely normal. As long as you are not exhibiting classic signs of hypoglycemia at these times (shakiness, palpitations, weakness, blurred vision, inappropriate behavior), then keep it up.
