Glycemia peaks ... when are they measured?

Hello.
I am not yet "officially" diagnosed.I bought a glucometer, and reading talk about the ideal is not having more than 160 mg/dl at 60/90 minutes after eating or not having more than 140 mg/dl at two hours after eating.
What does it mean after eating, at 2 hours of having started eating or at two hours of having finished eating?Because, for example, today, when starting to eat, he gave me (2 measures in a row, 191 and 171, so I imagine that I would walk by 180, but then at the time and a half of starting to eat (or at the time ofFinish) I have 114 and 110 (doing average 112).

That is, I do not know if a timely peak (because it has lasted minutes) of minutes of 180 is normal, or it is not.
The same happened to me the other day.
It is usually days as not as much.When as more, the level is lower (I think), but it remains longer.

Does anyone know how it is measured?

Thank you.

In case I have not explained myself well.I start eating at 2:00 p.m. and I finished at 14:30.
I measure me at 3:00 p.m. and that is when I was around 180, and at 15:30 it was around 112.

Thank you.

@Chema2100: If you are not "diagnosed" why do you buy a glucometer and you crush your fingers?

All people have peaks after eating if carbohydrates are eaten, if I know if you bina with vegetables and fats the beak will be less.I recommend that you take a look at the Instagram account @glucosegoddes, since it carries a sensor without having diabetes and explains how carbohydrates affect.

@Chema2100, depends on the glycemic index of the food.It can be at the time or a half of having eaten.
But analytics and glycosilada are those that detect diabetes in doubtful cases, better than a glucometer.
Normally people without diabetes do not usually pass 140.

Hello.
A few years ago, fasting glycemia went high.Of that they made me glycosilada and came out 5.8, and then moved between 5.2, 5.5, 5.9, but I have never measured that I have given 6 or more.
But...
The problem is that I am a blood donor.And part of those measurements were made at the 2 or 4 weeks of donating, with which the glycosilada has surely been greater.And to donate blood affected HB1C I found out recently.

As a month ago I began to see stains that move (I know they can be perfectly normal for some).Then I noticed that towards some foam when urinating.

As I do not go to the endocrine regularly, and considering that I have donated a month ago, I preferred to see if I had glycemia peaks after meals.And if so, ask for an appointment with the endocrine.

@Chema2100, if you have something altered the glucose, it is little, because of the values ​​you have.
Floating flies are not related to retinopathy and if you are something hypochondriac you will see foam when urinating, without anything.
Go to the endocrine to do your studies in case you have to wear a diet, but diabetes complications appear with higher and more kept values.

Thank you.I have an appointment with the endocrine, but it goes to the third week of January ... (and it is not the endocrine that I had years ago, which is no longer there, and those who enter my insurance is the first one that gives me appointment)And yes, I think I'm something hypochondriaco: Smile: and I find it hard to wait.

Anyway, today it has risen there, but eating much less than what usually (the last year and a half did not measure the glycosiladI have cared for anything ...).I do not dare to hit the binge that hit me, and look at the glucose level, because I still give me something ... fear I think where the values ​​have uploaded the last year and peak.

Hello.
Thank you.
I have tried to search on Instagram, but I didn't even have an account, so I didn't handle it well.And there are many accounts with that name.
Would this account be?: Https://www.instagram.com/glucosegoddes/?hl=en

Edito: It seems yes.Very interesting.Thank you so much.

Regina, believe me that people without diabetes have peaks greater than 140, ripe fruit, pasta, etc.

As I commented on Glucosegoddeness Instagram, many examples have.

Sorry, I hadn't seen the comment.Yes, it is that account.My girlfriend who is not diabetic bought an Abbott sensor and saw how his body responded to certain foods for 15 days and based on that modified some meals.Breakfasts for example, bread sat quite badly.We also saw that it is not 100% in rank.Of course, whenever he left rank it was below after a great intake of ch.

@Josemibi, medical criteria are those so far.But particular reactions will be many.Medicine is not an exact science.

Non -diabetics have peaks just like us, but your body secretes insulin and regulates quickly.In about 20 min they are in normal values ​​70-110mg/dl.

Abbott's sensors fail a lot, they are not a good source to give guidelines, you also have to do it with a population mass of the same EDA, lifestyle, food, etc.To draw conclusions.I measure the blood glucose to my boy after a gintonic and usually comes out about 160 mg/dl;I did it to him and the panda and everyone was between 160-180mg/dl.

@Chema2100 don't think so.Make a normal life, if you develop diabetes it will be with some peaks of more than 300mg/dl and a 13 or higher glyc.

The gin does not upload to anyone, the blood glucose is more dangerous because of the hypoglycemia that it can cause, with a tonic that carries a lot of sugar can give a specific peak is possible, but for a diabic is safe hypoglycemia, eye with the comments and comments and comments andThe tips we give

People without diabetes take more than 20 'to return to normal values.

It will be for you, to me a gintonic rises like the foam glycemia for the hydrates of the tonic, and nothing;Alcohol produces hypos if you have drunk a lot and have a circulating insulin.While the liver processes alcohol does not process hydrates and if you have active insulin could reach a hypo;Diabetological nurses the first thing they tell you is that alcohol with a full stomach and without active fast insulin.

Well, it's not true, each person is different.My boy and his friends were 98 mg/dl for about 20 minutes, it also depends if they are picing something while drinking, if they are fat, they are hydrates, etc..... There is no fixed guideline.

I mean a person without diabetes, and making a normal meal with carbohydrates.
