Fasting vs Post-Meal Blood Sugar: What Each Number Tells You

Society & Culture


Your blood sugar before breakfast and two hours after dinner are telling you two completely different things.


In this episode:

• What fasting blood sugar reveals — and what affects it overnight

• What post-meal (postprandial) glucose tells you about food

• Why both numbers matter for managing diabetes well

• How to spot patterns in your readings over time


Same meter. Different story. Here's how to read both.
