A member asked:

I'm a type ii diabetic age 64 male. just took my blood sugar reading after dinner 30 to 45 minutes ago. reading = 96. is that a normal reading?

Maybe: I'm concerned that your sugar may be too low. Recent studies have shown that low blood sugar can be more dangerous than higher blood sugar. Are you having periods of feeling weak and sweaty, or dizzy? You may need to decrease your medication. Check with your doctor.

A member asked:

Not diabetic. Checked blood in morning. Ranges are 78-90. Is it normal for my blood sugar reading to not raise very much? Sometimes goes down right after a meal. Will it keep going down? Or balance.
