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.
