Blood Sugar Levels Explained
Blood sugar rises after meals, drops during activity, and keeping it in a healthy range is key to preventing diabetes and other health problems.
2. Healthy Levels
A healthy blood sugar level is known as a normal level. There are two points a level is typically tested: fasting and after meals. Fasting blood sugar levels are measured after an eight hour period of no food or drink. In a healthy adult, these levels should range between 70 and 99 mg/dl. Two hours after eating, a normal result should fall below 140 mg/dl. A healthy diet and exercise are two key practices to help maintain normal blood sugar levels.
