What Can Be The Level Of Blood Sugar After Eating?

I had a CBC test done about one week ago as a routine before my yearly visit to my oncologist. It was marked that it was not necessary to fast so I did not. Copies of the results were sent to my GP, he sent me an order to get a fasting blood sugar test because my blood sugar was at 146. They did ask me if/what I had to eat and I said I had breakfast 45min to 1hr before I was having the test. Wouldn't 146 after eating be expected? Aged 51, 5'5", 115lbs; history of gestational diabetes 13 &18 years in the past.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You have gone for random blood sugar. Its not high. But we can't accurately decide whether its normal or not because of variable timing and food.
You should go for fasting blood sugar and 2 hr postprandial blood sugar for perfect result. Go for it.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
