Any excess glucose goes to your liver for storage. When you go a few hours without eating, blood sugar levels go down.

Insulin reduces the body's blood sugar levels and provides cells with glucose for energy by helping cells absorb glucose. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes the body's blood sugar levels to rise.
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.
Elevated post prandial glucose levels are levels which are found after a meal that rise sharply and can be detected in post prandial tests.
This is because the body digests the last meal (post dinner) and releases glucose in the blood stream which is detected in the fasting test.
