A member asked:

Is an isolated incidence of blood sugar level 215, 1 hr after dinner significant? unheard of w/me. rarely gets to 150. 2 hrs after dinner it was 120

Dr. John Chiu answered

No: The one hour level does not mean much. The 2 hour level may be borderline. A hgb a1c level would be more helpful in establishing whether you are prediabetic or not if you are concerned.
