A member asked:
My blood sugar 4 hours after eating is 80 and 5 hours is 99 why did it go up? i'm not diabetic just curious if my readings

Normal variation: Both numbers are in the normal range and there is variation no just in the blood sugar but in the readings of the bs meter. Each meter can vary by up to 20% in number even if youi check blood sugar back to back.

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.
