Eating naturally raises blood sugar. The carbohydrates in food are broken down into glucose and go into the blood stream and give the energy needed for the cells of the body. Insulin then helps to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells. In a healthy person, insulin helps limit the rise in blood glucose after a meal and allows blood glucose to gradually return toward its usual level.<\/p>\n

But what if your glucose stays high after you eat? Repeated high readings might be a sign of insulin resistance, prediabetes or diabetes.<\/p>\n
