Hi everyone Im new to the site and so far an unconfirmed type two. My question is what is the normal range for someone without diabetes ie blood sugars, after a meal. Iv tested my blood sugar and its come out at 6.6 two hours after a meal.
Im waiting for a fasting glucose test to be carried out but as Im inpatient Iv bought a testing machine :roll:
 
The difference between a diabetic and non diabetic's levels is how efficiently they deal with a meal containing carbohydrate. What was in the meal that you just ate ?
 
Hi my meal was chicken without skin, a bread roll and salad with a low fat dressing. Oh and a peach.
 
You probably ate roughly 60 gm of carbs in that meal so a level of 6.6 is good.

To put it into perspective you ate in that meal more carbs than I eat in a day.

I hope you get on OK with your GTT.
 
Thanks Sue I appreciate your getting back to me. The drugs Im on for Bi Polar can cause diabetes and a recent blood test showed a rise in blood sugars but not enough to say if Im type two without the glucose test.
Fingers crossed that its not and a change in meds means it never will be.
