My sugar fasting is 225 and post lunch is 302 after 2 hours, when i test my sugar level after 5 to 6 hours it is 120..what is the reason

Ans: Blood sugar levels typically rise after eating (postprandial hyperglycemia) and then gradually decrease as the glucose is absorbed and utilized by the body. A reading of 120 mg/dL after 5 to 6 hours suggests that the body has effectively lowered the blood sugar from the post-meal peak. If you are on insulin or other glucose-lowering medications, the drop in blood sugar could be due to the action of these medications. Follow healthy lifestyle modifications to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Consume foods with a lower glycemic index, which are digested more slowly, include high-fiber foods, particularly soluble fiber found in oats, fruits, and legumes, which can help lower blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity. Eat at regular times and maintain a regular regimen of aerobic and weight training exercises. Avoid sugary and processed foods.
