If we are between 100 and 125, it is a strong indicator of prediabetes. What almost no one tells you is that when prediabetes is starting, the first glucoses that are altered are not fasting glucoses, but rather postprandial glucoses. Postprandial glucose is defined as blood sugar levels two hours after eating. To be more precise, it refers to blood glucose two hours after you have started eating, not two hours after you have finished eating. Normal postprandial glucose levels, or two hours after eating, should be less than 139 mg/dl. If we are between 140 and 199, it is a strong indicator of prediabetes. How do I know what my postprandial glucose levels are? There are two ways, the first is by doing a glucose tolerance curve. It is a blood test where in a controlled environment, they give you a liquid with a certain amount of glucose and check your blood sugar levels fasting, at one hour and at 2 hours, this way we can see how the curve behaves. The second way is with the glucometer, if you are going to use the glucometer I recommend doing this test more than once, on more than one day, in order to have a greater range of comparison. Insulin resistance Another way prediabetes starts is with insulin resistance. We know that diet is closely related to insulin resistance, but it is not the only cause. I am going to present different causes so that you can analyze if you are doing things that may predispose you to having an increase in insulin resistance. #prediabetes #health
