What is the standard blood sugar level one hour after a meal?

Patient's question:

Some say it's 8.9, some say it's 10, and some say it's 11.1. Could you please ask the doctor which one it is? Or what is the normal range for a healthy person?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The standard for diagnosing diabetes is based on postprandial 2-hour blood glucose levels. Normal postprandial 2-hour blood glucose is less than 7.8 mmol/L. The normal value for postprandial 1-hour blood glucose should be higher than this number, generally not exceeding 11.1 mmol/L.
