Why Is My Post Prandial Blood Sugar Level Lower Than My Fasting?

default
Posted on Fri, 16 May 2014
Question: Hello Doctor,
I recently did my master health-check up, my fasting blood sugar level was 89 mg/dl and my post prandial was 71 mg/dl.
I am confused why my post prandial is lower than my fasting?

Thanks,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Some technical error in the report

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for your query.

It seems that there has been some technical error in taking out report for post-prandial blood sugar. You need to check with the laboratory. Since these reports are usually computerised, the computer did some mistake.

Hope it helps.
