Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy.

What did you have for dinner? what time did you eat it? How many hours later when you took the reading? what were your numbers before dinner? what are your average (usual) reading? Just curious...

Forgot to say, my doc wanted mine below 150 when measuring 2 hours after a meal--mine is usually between 82 and 108 after the 2 hours ..

Definitely need more info: What did you eat? What time did you eat? How long after you ate did you take a reading? How long was the fasting?

For diabetes, that isn't a horrible change. If you had a high carb meal directly after fasting, it can cause a spike like that. Diabetics really shouldn't eat more than 60-80g of carbs per day, depending on activities. If you need more help, a nutritionist can help you balance everything.
