How much does 1 gram of sugar raise blood glucose?
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.

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.
At 30mg/dl one can slip into diabetic coma. Inform your doctor without further delay.
This indicates that you are not managing your blood sugar levels properly. This can make you susceptible to heart kidney and eye damage.
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.
For fasting sugar you cannot eat anything. For post prandial you can eat a banana before the test.
