Is blood sugar of 8.6 after a meal high? You need to know the normal value

It is important to understand the normal value of blood sugar after meals. Many people with diabetes have high blood sugar after meals. If the blood sugar after meals is 8.6, it is already high. Blood sugar should be controlled in time. Appropriate exercise after meals and a low-sugar diet are very important.

1. Normal blood sugar level after meal

1 hour after meal: blood sugar 6.7-9.4 mmol/L. The maximum value is no more than 11.1mmol/L (200mg/dl)

2 hours after meal: blood sugar ≤7.8 mmol/L.

3 hours after meal: Return to normal after the third hour, and each urine sugar is negative.

2. Normal fasting blood sugar value

1. Generally, the fasting whole blood glucose level is 3.9-6.1 mmol/L (70-110 mg/dL), and the plasma glucose level is 3.9-6.9 mmol/L (70-125 mg/dL).

2. Fasting whole blood glucose ≥6.7 mmol/L (120 mg/dL) and plasma glucose ≥7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL), repeated measurements twice can be diagnosed as diabetes.

3. When the fasting whole blood glucose is above 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) and the plasma glucose is above 6.4 mmol/L (115 mg/dL), a glucose tolerance test should be performed.

4. When fasting whole blood glucose exceeds 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL), it means that insulin secretion is very little or absent. Therefore, when fasting blood sugar is significantly elevated, diabetes can be diagnosed without the need for other tests.

3. High blood sugar after meals

1. Adhere to proper aerobic exercise. The exercise time is generally one hour after a meal. The exercise method can be walking or doing aerobics;

2. Strictly control the intake of food, make it balanced, reasonable, regular, regular and quantitative, and resolutely put an end to overeating;

4. Maintain a good attitude, be emotionally stable, comfortable, and happy, and avoid tension, depression, and worries;

5. Alcohol, caffeine and smoking will seriously affect the stability of blood sugar, so it is best to quit or use less;
