Depends on what was your diet before PP..and how many carbs were included in same...

However it is said non diabetics never spike above 140 anytime....

Welcome to the group, rbkt. Your fasting blood sugar is good. However, your 2hr PP is higher than normal, as mentioned by cure. That is a sign of impaired glucose tolerance which means you like many of us cannot process carbohydrate efficiently. What you ate was highly carb-rich food. If you reduce the carbohydrate contents of your meal and replace it with more protein and good fat, your PP number will fall to normal range.

If you eat eggs, you can include that in your meal. Remove rice and mutter.

You have got impaired glucose tolerance. Reduce carbohydrate in your diet and exercise more. You may become a diabetic patient in near future, if not already diagnosed.

PP 164 is not bad but still bit high . Suggest just reduce the quantity of food during lunch and try. If u hit below 150, its fine. do not go by docs they just threaten you. Ideally your quarterly sugar should be less than 7. do not worry too much of daily scores. I am 61 and managing my diabetics for the last 22 years

2 hr pp should be 120 or less and bs should never cross 140mg levels at anytime. Pp at 120 shows that you can clear carbs but more than 140 at any time shows you are developing IR but still you are not diabetic. Also measure 1 hr pp.

The 94 is good for a day... but how frequent is your test? And the results? I got these info too that might be helpful:

Test results vary by age and are usually measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).

Normal results for the two-hour postprandial test based on age are:

Newborn to 50 years: less than 140 mg/dL

50 to 60 years: less than 150 mg/dL

60 years and older: less than 160 mg/dL

Not what you're looking for?
