What is considered a normal blood sugar level?
My sister just took my blood a couple hours after I ate lunch and it was 119. Is this considered high?

It is ok. Doctors like a tad lower, but 119 is ok. Take your reading in morning before eating or drinking anything.
It is dependent on what you ate of course, but that does not seem high for two hours after eating.
no. that’s fine.
over 126 more than once is cause for concern.
70 to 120 is considered normal, I think, so you’re ok.
Normal usually runs around 100. My mother has been as high as 300 so there is probally no need to worry about 119. It could be your diet or if you have eaten something with a lot of sugar in it it could effect it that way too.
Your sugar levels peak 1and 1/2–2 hours after eating.This is a perfectly normal blood sugar for just eating a couple hours earlier.Normal blood sugars are from 80-120.It isn’t considered high until it hits 130 and remains there for two or more tests.Taken an hour apart.
Normal blood sugar is 90 – 120 but its not really considered high until about 150 so you have nothing to worry about
here’s a chart that should clear things up for you

80-120
You must take blood before you eat anything,anyway it’s normal
70-110. I wouldn’t be worried about a level of 119. As long as you aren’t feeling any symptoms of hyperglycemia then you should be fine. Next time check your level before you eat and see what it is.
yours is fine i been as low as 38 and high as 500
You’re fine. 119 is normal after eating. You should take a fasting sugar count so you know what your average normal level would be.
no. the normal range is 81 to120.So 119 is not high .
It is a little bit high. Doctors are now saying that good is 100. But it is only after consistently getting high readings do you get alarmed.So relax, watch your carbs, you might be pre-diabetic, eat a high protein diet and keep a journal of what you are eating, and what your readings
are. Do this for a week or two, if there is a pattern of high readings, see your doctor, if there is a pattern of very low readings, see your doctor.I hope that this helped, Good luck and God Bless you.
Normal is under 100, unless you haven’t eaten then a little higher is okay. Look on http://www.webmd.com for details on diabetics.
My husband has diabetis & we monitor his blood sugar 4 times daily.
Normal levels are usually 70 and 150
Levels typically are lower in the morning, and rise after meals.
70-120
is considered normal; you’ll be okayy(:
It should be a bit lower, but 119 is normal
< than 100.
I am a CCMA
118 is the NORM
I work with Diabetics on a daily basis
100 is about perfect but 119 isn’t bad at all, especially if you just ate. Also some people’s “perfect” range is a little higher or lower depending on their bady shape, gender, ect.
this xplains what is normal and why.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar
It is just a bit lower but 119 is ok cause that is what my moms is all the time.
90 – 120 is the best sugar level
high isn’t classed until 150
low isn’t classed until about 70-80
its normal cuz u just ate (: and even if you didnt eat its still good
No 119 is not to high. It is a very boring number to doctors and nurses. I think the ideal must be about 103, because you see people advertising on TV diabetic supplies the actor takes his blood Sugar, and smiles smugly then eats a Cinnamon roll or something. I actually feel better when my blood Sugar is around 150, I get week and shaky if it’s below about 80.
Normal
A blood glucose test measures the amount of a type of sugar, called glucose, in your blood.
Results are often ready in 1 to 2 hours. Glucose levels in a blood sample taken from your vein (called a blood plasma value) may differ a little than glucose levels checked with a finger stick.
Blood glucose Fasting blood glucose:
70–99 milligrams per deciliter or less than 5.5 mmol/L
2 hours after eating (postprandial):
70–145 mg/dL (less than 7.9 mmol/L)
Random (casual):
70–125 mg/dL (less than 7.0 mmol/L)
Normal results may vary from lab to lab. Many conditions can change your blood glucose levels. Your health professional will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to your symptoms and medical history
Don’t worry – it’s normal, especially after a meal.
Being as how you just had lunch I 119 is fine. Your blood sugar shouldn’t be above 90 really at any time, but on anyone sometimes after a meal with high sugar or especially a dessert it may be higher. Hope this helps.
NO, for fasting they want you 100-120, for after eating 120-140 is ideal
below 70 is risky
it looks like all your answers come from the USA- in canada, our rates are metric, and normal is between 3 and 6- your numbers sound so high.
between 70 and 120 i think below 70 is bad and above 120 is high
70 as a low and about 110 to 120 as a high
idk
you’re in a ok range
no, between 80 and 120 is normal.
You probably need to exercise more. I’m guessing you just sat around after eating.
70-120 is normal.
That’s not considered high at all for 2 hours after a meal. Actually, at 2 hours after a meal it’s considered OK as long as it’s under 140.
Before a meal it should be between 80-100.
I think it’s between 120-70.
80-120
My Dr has me test 1 hour after eating. I am supposed to be under 120. If you waited longer then 1 hour it might be a little high. Also check yourself first thing in the morning when you wake up. It should be under 90.
it depends on the person….are you diabetic? if not why do you need to know what your blood sugar is…If you are diabetic, you should know what your average is… If you are newly diagnosed with diabetes than i would check it very often. if you feel slow check it.. if its under 80 take glycogen tabs or a glycogen shot, you don’t want to have a low its very dangerous and life threatening if You are alone..you should have the shots on hand if you ever have a low so that someone could administer it for you.. (make it known that you shouldn’t have anything put in your mouth while having a low) you could choke. if its high you will need to have someone educated on your insulin so that they can give you the correct dosage. i would definitely look into a life alert button if this becomes a regular occurrence and you are currently living alone.
120
It’s fine. Per the National Diabetes Clearinghouse, your number should be:
70-130 before meals
Less than 180 one to two hours after the start of a meal
nope.
80-120 is normal, my best friend is diabetic and her goal is alway’s between those two numbers
Normal glucose levels fall between 70 and 150 mg. Levels typically are lower in the morning, and rise after meals. Blood sugar levels falling consistently above 150 are indicative of hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar. Chronic low levels, falling below 70, characterize hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. Hypoglycemia is a potentially fatal condition. Symptoms of this condition are lethargy, impaired mental functioning, irritability and loss of consciousness. Persistent hyperglycemia results in diabetes mellitus, which is the most common disease related to blood sugar regulation failure. Diabetes can cause eye, kidney and nerve damage.
A blood glucose test measures the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. Reasons for testing glucose levels are to check for diabetes, to monitor treatment of diabetes, and to check for hypoglycemia. There are several different types of glucose tests. The ‘fasting blood sugar’ test checks glucose levels after an eight-hour fast and is often the first test performed when checking for diabetes. For this test, levels have to fall between 70 and 99 in order to be considered normal. The ‘two-hour postprandial blood sugar’ test measures glucose levels two hours after eating a meal.
Normal glucose levels for this test fall between 70 and 145. Random blood sugar testing checks glucose levels randomly throughout the day, regardless of meal times. If levels vary widely, there could be a problem. Blood sugar levels should be between 70 and 125 in order to be considered normal for random testing. The ‘oral glucose tolerance test’ diagnoses diabetes and predicaments. This tests your blood after drinking a glucose drink. If you think you may have a blood sugar disorder, contact your primary care physician for testing. There are many conditions that can cause a change in your blood glucose levels. Normal results may vary depending on the lab.
It should be 90-120 Threw out the day and before bed 110-140
70-120 is normal, so this is fine.
