BG 131
I have never had a high bg before, today we had a health fair at work and my BG was 131???
I only had a protein shake and crystal light for 7 hours prior to the test that has no sugar in it.
I am worried. Any ideas?

How long before the test had you had the protein shake? At 131 and non-fasting, I wouldn't let the single reading worry you. If you are concerned, go to almart and buy an inexpensive glucometer and test yourself a few times, both fasting and 102 minutes after a meal, and see what your readings are.
Probably an hour prior to the test. It happened again today after a protein shake. I think it is the protein shake. I always get nauseated, shaky and get a headache after I have them. Thanks for your input! I will try the meter and see what happens.

Are you making your shakes with milk (carbs)? Even if there are very few carbs in the shake, protein can actually increase blood glucose levels. 131 at 60 minutes post-meal is not something to be afraid of. However, I would check it again at 120 minutes post-meal to be sure it goes back down below 100.
