Answers:
The fasting blood test (upon waking) is accurate!. When you start moving around, getting ready, whatever, your liver can dump sugar into your blood stream (the brain thinks you need the sugar because of the activity), then that sugar is used up so the blood sugar goes back down!.
Even non-diabetics (I am assuming you are one) have spikes after they eat!. One of my son's diabetes educators said that she tested her BG after having a huge margarita (the only kind of office party where everyone gets drunk and tests their blood!ha)!. She is not diabetic, but her blood sugar was almost 200!! due to the incredible amount of sugar in the margarita (liquid sugar hits even faster than solid)!.
The pancreas is really good at timing its delivery of insulin, but not perfect!. So it is normal that an hour after eating, your BG is higher!. And under 100 is perfectly normal, so don't worry about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hope you get a better answer than I'm going to give you!. But, I guess the liver produces sugar during the night and that is why the first test of the day might be higher than the other tests!. You can expect your blood glucose levels to increase pretty dramatically after eating for a couple of hours!. I thought I was doing well, but the doctor wasn't too thrilled if it was high in the morning, even if it went down into the 60's afterward!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You "supposed" to check your blood glucose immediately upon waking!. This reading is often higher than expected for a lot of hormonal reasons apparently, and check bllod sugar exactly 2 hours after beginning any meal!. It will go up, and then back down to "normal"!. Sounds like your OK, but it's not too clear to me when you are measuring exactly and why!. Are diabetic or pre diabetic!? Just curious!? Small diet changes, losing weight, and smaller more frequent meals haelp stabilize blood sugar levels!. You really need to get a measurement known as A1C levels!. This measures your average glucose level over the preceding 3 months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Having a fasting level under 100 is normal!. After eating your blood sugar should be 140 or below within two hours!. If you sugar is 130-140 1 hour after eating, then it is good!. Yes, it will continue to go down back to your normal level!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
