A member asked:

I had a heavy meal of fish and rice, i tested my blood glucose after about 15 min.. it was 139 so i want to know if it is a normal value ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds high: It is best to test sugars either before eating, or 2 hrs after. Testing 15 min after eating should not be much different than before eating (unless it took a long time to eat). A pre-meal glucose above 100 is abnomal, above 125 is considered diabetes. You should get a hemoglobin a1c for further evaluation.
