What should be the blood sugar levels after 30 mins of food intake? - Dr. Mahesh DM

In any condition, normal, pre diabetes or having diabetes blood glucose levels will increase after taking food. The amount of glucose expression depends on two factors. One is the body’s ability to metabolise, so the form we take it; whether it is a solid or liquid form. Second is whether it contains simple sugars or it contains complex sugars, fats and proteins. If it contains simple sugars the blood glucose levels after 30 minutes can range from 100 to 200 or sometimes up to 250. If we take foods that is rich in complex carbohydrate, fibre content and fat then the glucose expression is not very high. It may just reach around 100 to 140 or 160. So if you take a fruit juice or simple sugar drink or eat foods like white rice or potato then the sugar levels will surely go high. This is because the body metabolise the complex sugars in a slow way. If you take solid foods the glucose expression will be a little late compared to the liquid item. So glucose levels can vary depending upon the type of food and the form in which we take the food.

Thank you for the information doctor. I have been searching for 30 minutes. Glucose level after eating. Almost everywhere has only one hour and 2 to 3 hours. Thank you for this.

As an endocrinologist you should know that blood glucose is not an indicator of pre diabetes. You can have normal glucose, but have very high insulin levels to keep that glucose level normal. Fasting insulin levels is the indicator of diabetes or pre diabetes.

Great that you explained what to expect if you drink a sugary drink (which makes me dizzy and sleepy but glucose never goes over 130) vs complex carbs (like a green leafy salad which make no difference and my glucose stays between 100 to 106) - I’m in my 50s and sugary drinks feel like poison to me (like a chocolate shake won’t make my glucose spike to diabetic levels but I feel like crap an hour after drinking them - coke does this in just 20 minutes - pure poison in a can )

Thank you for this video. I appreciate the truth. So far, it is the only video like this that I can find.

was told never to measure until 3 hours after a meal because the numbers dont mean anything and can be crazy high, what mattters is that the body can process it and bring it down later

[mosenses]

2019 stats are - early morning fasting 130-160 absolutely ok, PP 2 hours after eating 180-200 absolutely ok. more over Sugar levels are scary above 350 even sometimes after eating, fasting or PP so ensure keep your values below 250. have a brisk walk, little weights training and sweat! 200 is not at all a scary figures!!

[aleafcore]

Blood sugar 71 1 hour after eating 8 oz steak, buttered corn, tomatoes, avocado, and two pieces of bread. Id say a good balance of macros but i expected maybe 100 to 120 blood sugar. I do not have diabetes I am just checking my numbers to see how Food influences me. I feel like it should have been higher. Can reactive hypoglycemia happen quickly or does it take a few hours
