Your fasting sugar is normal. But are you really safe from diabetes?

Community: Fertility & IVF Support

Fasting blood sugar under 100 mg/dL is considered normal. But that's only half the story. Post-meal sugar (2 hours after eating) tells a different story. Many Indians with "normal" fasting sugar show dangerous spikes after meals — a condition called Post-Prandial Hyperglycemia. Why Indians are at higher risk: - Genetic predisposition to insulin resistance - High carbohydrate diet (rice, roti, potatoes) - Sedentary lifestyle post-meals - Visceral fat even at normal BMI Three numbers every Indian should know: - Fasting glucose — below 100 mg/dL - Post-meal glucose (2hr) — below 140 mg/dL - HbA1c — below 5.7% If you only check fasting sugar, you may be missing early diabetes by years.
