A member asked:

Is sugar level of 145 after 20 minutes of eating high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are reference curves online to compare, but 145 is not high. Many factors in the food determine how fast, how high and how long it goes up: carbohydrate and protein content and digestion, for instance. A glucose tolerance test is a way to scientifically assess how your body handles glucose, avoiding confounding factors
