HI! Question...

Just so you know, i am NOT a diabetic, nor does it run in my family, i do however have a question.

about 5 hours ago i had mcdonalds, then about 3 hours ago i had 2 helpings of sun sweet prunes and a pepsi with natural sugar.  I just took my levels with my GF's mothers test meter and it read 133 and then 45 minutes later the same.  I yield no symptoms, no dizzyness or lightheaded, not really tired.  Any idea?

You can ask your doctor to test HA1C.  This is an average measure of blood sugars over the past few months.  This test would let you know if you haver reason to be concerned or not.

Best wishes

In general, non-diabetics don't spike over about 120. On the other hand, you ate an enormous amount of carbohydrates.
