What do these numbers mean?

1. Fasting: 97
2. 1 hour after eating a bagel: 130
3. 2 hours after eating a bagel: 139
4. 3 hours after eating a bagel: 87

And the bagel was 215 calories with 47g of carbs

They mean your blood sugars are pretty 'normal'

Thanks! Are they a little on the high end of the "normal" range? Or basically what any non-prediabetes person would show?

If you look at the figures in that link you can see where in the range you fall.

The 2 hour says 140 or under, and I was at 139, which is essentially borderline pre-diabetes, no?

The numbers essentially mean different things to each individual. Personally I wouldnt want to spike that high at the 2 hr mark but that is just me, others may not mind.

Do not make judgements based on a single data set. Repeat the exercise, food, testing, and see what happens.

If you're not happy then go see the quack and ask for an hba1c blood test. This shows your average blood sugar levels over the previous 3 months.
