BEAT DIABETES! Dr Berry & Dennis Pollock Discuss Type 2 Diabetes [d77817]
Post Time: 2025-07-29
Maintaining a healthy blood sugar range is crucial for overall health and well-being. When we eat, our body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which then enters the bloodstream. This triggers an increase in blood sugar levels.
The normal range for fasting blood sugar levels typically falls between 70-99 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter), while after eating it usually ranges from 100 to 140 mg/dL, peaking within one to two hours of meal consumption. However, what happens if your post-meal blood glucose reading is higher than this range?
The Risks Associated with High Blood Sugar Levels After Eating
High blood sugar levels after meals can be a sign of insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance, conditions that increase the risk for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
To put these numbers into perspective: according to data from the American Diabetes Association (ADA), adults over the age of 45 with elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at levels between 110-129 mg/dL have prediabetes. Those whose FPG is higher than or equal to 130 mg/dL, however, are in a state often referred to as "high-risk" for diabetes.
The Role of Diet and Lifestyle Choices on Blood Sugar Regulation
Making healthy lifestyle choices can help regulate blood sugar levels after eating.
A balanced diet that focuses on whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains is beneficial. Foods high in fiber like non-starchy vegetables can also play a role due to their ability to slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream.
For example: leafy greens contain soluble dietary fibers (pectins) which are highly effective at slowing gastric emptying - allowing food to remain in your stomach longer, reducing how quickly glucose is absorbed by the body. The American Diabetes Association recommends 25-30 grams of fiber per day for managing blood sugar levels and overall health.
Why Monitoring Your Blood Sugar Levels After Meals Matters
Monitoring postprandial (after meal) blood glucose can help you stay on top of potential issues before they lead to more severe complications like diabetic neuropathy, cardiovascular disease or even organ damage over time.
