Is it normal to test 160 after eating a meal on your diabetic meter. I just tested for the 1st time.?

My parents are both disbetic tpye second Last fall, I tested 128: e And today, after eating a large fruit, which I tested 163 and I am afraid I am a diabetic, because 80-120 is normal. I'll try again tonight, just before lunch and see what's playing. Fear and panic. You are already diabic doctor if not a friend of panic-Ing! It is not allowed. And you need to know to increase blood sugar, which emphasizes high. "I tested falls Las t 128 at home or doctor's office? 128 is a finger prick randomly and are not diagnostic. It's like a picture. It's this one moment in time and not usable for anything. You need an appointment for each 6 months to have blood on HbA1c, an examination of the average molecules of glucose attached to red blood cells within 90 days. And it is expressed in numbers. 5 is perfectly normal and perfect. 6 is a danger zone where you are right. more than 6 is diabetic. Do not bother with fear and panic mode, anything! It will not help you to not eat the same food that your parents do? or they can not eat starches? I know about teens, too. I had three children and four grandchildren teens and know that when you are away from mom she things my mother would never approve food. Finger sticks alone can not diagnose diabetes. Consult your doctor, but in the meantime, do not panic. It is normal for a meal for a person blood sugar to rise. There are two things to remember when you do a finger stick. Make sure you wash your hands first to remove dirt, bacteria and all the sweet residue that would otherwise cause a false reading to remove. The other thing to consider is the time of the test. For the most accurate results, wait two hours after meals to do it. This gives the body a chance to start this process carbohydrates and secrete insulin to bring down a rising blood sugar on its own. Good luck.
