A member asked:

Blood sugar was 215, 1 hour after dinner. i've never seen it that high before. can this happen to a healthy individual or am i in danger of type2?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normal: Nondiabetics do not bump their glucose significantly no matter what they eat. You are at risk for diabetes. If you are overweight, losing weight can stop you from getting diabetes, and all the other problems that go along with it.
