For most
people, 80 to 99 milligrams of sugar per deciliter before a meal and 80 to 140
mg/dl after a meal is normal. The American Diabetes
Association says that most nonpregnant adults with diabetes should
have 80 to 130 mg/dl before a meal and less than 180 mg/dl at 1 to 2 hours
after beginning the meal. These variations in blood sugar levels, both before and after
meals, reflect the way that the body absorbs and stores glucose. After you eat,
your body breaks down the carbohydrates in food into smaller parts, including
glucose, which the small intestine can absorb.
