I have a question about my diabetes. My age is 36. I am suffering from hypertension since 6 years & Diabetes from 2.5 years and take tablets for both diseases in morning. For diabetes I take glimepiride 2 mg + Metformin 500 mg prescribed by doctor. My query is dat when I test my pp sugar after 2 hours of meals it comes around 240 but when I again test after 3 hours of meals (1 hour after pp sugar test), it comes around 150. Means the value of pp sugar test which should come after 2 hours of meals generally comes after 3 hours of meals. Is this ok or should I need further tests or medicine changes. My Hba1c is 6.2 which is good.

yes, your hba1c is fine. but pp level is quite high .but, your glycemic variability is very high. i would suggest you to take small frequent meals and divide your calorie intake in 5-6 times. this way it won't rise to such high values

The peak sugar level after full diet reaches highest at 1 Hour 30 minutes after this the sugar level starts falling This is the reason you are getting lower level after 3 Hours. The fasting blood sugar should be tested 10 hours after total fasting. The normal levels are;- Fasting <100 mg% and Post Meal <140 mg% Ideally the HbA1c should be <7.
