Iâm a diabetic, and I can guarantee that the sugar will enter our blood in about 13 to 20 minutes. O-Jay is kinda one of the emergency drinks we diabetics use because of the easy absorption rate. It is very fast. Anything that is liquid sugar will be only minutes to enter your blood stream. OJ, coke, apple juice, lemonade, etc. I donât think it does very much to keep you awake though. People swear children get hyper from earing sugar, but some objective studies I read about 10 years ago that show it isnât true.
Tests for post-prandial, or after meals, should be taken two hours after the meal. Blood Sugar Levels A normal range for blood glucose averages between 70 and 125 in most people. At two hours after eating, a blood sugar level of below 140 is considered normal. This range indicates that the body is using and metabolizing glucose properly. If the blood sugar tests in the range of 140 to 199, it can be a sign of pre-diabetes. Results over 200 means the blood sugar is in the diabetic range.
