A member asked:
Can a diabetic patient test his glucose level after eating directly? and what should it be if he tested it?

It is better to test fasting glucose. After eating the level will depend on what you ate and how much you ate. Get your A1c level checked and aim to keep it below 7.0. Wish you good health!

It can be tested after meals, but the information will be hard to interpret, will be a function of at least 2 variables, carbs ingested and actual timing with regard to the meal. Initially a fasting glucose or baseline would be best in trying to delineate treatment.
