Blood
sugar levels can vary throughout the day, and different factors can influence them, including meals, physical activity, and individual metabolism. In general, a blood sugar level of 204 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) one hour after a meal may be considered high, especially if the
fasting blood sugar level is within the normal range (76 mg/dL). However, it's important to consider the overall pattern of blood sugar levels over time and not rely solely on a single measurement.
A hemoglobin A1c (
HbA1c) level of 6% indicates GOOD overall blood sugar control over the past two to three months. It provides an average of blood sugar levels during that time. If your father's HbA1c is stable and within the target range , it suggests that his blood sugar control is generally adequate.
