The recommended blood glucose range after fasting for 2 hours by a person who does not have diabetes is 70 to 130mg/dL. 132 is slightly high and might indicate prediabetes.
One gram of sugar will result in the spike of 5mg/dl blood glucose levels. Hence, diabetics are advised to take less or no sugar at all.
