A member asked:
Non diabetic. 4 recent blood tests. first 2 postprandial, last 2 fasting. post glucose in 70s, fasting in 90s. why would glucose be higher b4 food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Morning glucose: Is due to glucose your liver puts out overnite and inbetween meals so that your sugar stays stable during these times. Also, you won't die of low glucose if fasting. After meal sugar is lower due to Insulin your body puts out to cover the meal. Don't worry, all your numbers are excellent and normal.
