What Does This Blood Sugar Reading Of 87 Indicate?
Question: Is 87 a normal blood sugar 1hour after i have eaten?
Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
A blood glucose level of 87 one hour after a meal is considered normal. Any value between 70 to 140 mg/dl is accepted as normal for blood glucose, 1-2 hours after meals which is generally the time blood glucose levels peak after consumption of major meals.
If you measured this using a glucose monitoring device such as a glucometer, then it is possible to have a 10-20% variation form the actual blood glucose reading which you would get in a laboratory by having your blood sample taken from a vein in the arm. This is the true reading. However, modern meters generally give reliable readings close to the real glucose values in the blood.
