Is 200 blood sugar normal after eating?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Post eating blood sugar (2 hours) is normal only when it is less than 140 mg/dl. Any reading from 140 - 200 is considered as Pre-diabetes and lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise must be started. Any reading above 200 is considered as Diabetes which needs medications in addition to life style modifications.

I'm really concerned about my journey trying to conceive - it's been 23 months of trying, and I'm getting worried. My periods are regular, and all my blood tests, like TSH and prolactin, have come back normal. The only thing is my blood sugar is in the pre-diabetic range. Now I've found out about this myometrial cyst, and I'm wondering if it could be affecting my ability to conceive. Could this be a reason for the delay, and what should I do about it?
A myometrial cyst is a benign fluid-filled cyst in the muscle layer of the uterus, usually not related to fertility issues. Since your periods are regular and other tests are normal, it's a good sign, but pre-diabetes can affect fertility. It's a good idea to manage your blood sugar levels for better chances of conception.
