What is the highest blood sugar level that is safe?
Blood glucose can also be
measured in the "fasting"
state, meaning that the person has not eaten or taken in any calories in the
past 8 hours (usually this is done overnight and it is referred to as an
overnight fast and is called a "fasting blood sugar" or FBS). In a person with normal insulin production
and activity (a non-diabetic) blood sugar levels will return to
"fasting" levels within 3 hours of eating. People with diabetes
(type 1 and type 2) may not be able to get their blood glucose down this
quickly after a meal or drinking a calorie-containing drink.
