Does these blood sugar readings mean I could have diabetes?

[californiablueeyes76]

I'm overweight and my mom has Type 2 diabetes....so tonight I tested my blood sugar using a friend's meter.

The first time was about an hour after I had eaten something and was 156.

We tested it again about an hour later and it was 141.

So it was going down.... I know it can be higher after you eat, but how long is the post-meal time range? Are these numbers cause for concern?

thanks...

If you like you can ask your doctor to do a random and fasting blood glucose.
Just random sugars alone mean nothing, you have to keep a record of the time and when you eat.
It is much easier to just let the doctor draw your blood and test rather than sicking your finger needlessness for now anyway.
Avoid sugars, make your sodas diet
A craving for sweets and always being thirsty are signs of diabetes
Just because your mom has it doesn't mean you will if you make lifestyle changes now



Good Luck to you
