For healthy individuals who are not diabetic blood sugars normally do not rise above 140 after a meal.  You should see your doctor and have some tests done

I am not a physician but the mom of a type 1 diabetic.  I can tell you that it is normal for blood sugars to be higher after eating.  It takes 2-3hours after eating for blood sugars to go down depending on what you are eating and how much fat and protein is in the meal.  

I would suggest that if you are worried to contact your physician to run some blood tests that would tell you for sure if you have diabetes.
