High sugar after meal

2021-12-16 08:49:46
Hi. My mother aged 61 years recently started getting high sugar levels when measured 2 hours after meal. When tracked for almost a week, Fasting sugar comes between 110-125 but 2 hours post meal comes between 170-250. I am quite concerned and would like to understand this. Many thanks.

This sugar level is in Diabetic range. She will need Medicines. But, you should also do HbA1c test to see the extent of sugar control of past months

Usually sugar levels increases after food, but range more than 180 is a matter of concern. Please get Hba1c to confirm diagnosis of diabetes.
