The blood sugar levels are slightly elevated if it crossed 140mg/dl that means that your are falling under the category diabetes.
Any excess glucose goes to your liver for storage. When you go a few hours without eating, blood sugar levels go down.
Insulin produced in pancreas control the storage of glucose in the body to be later used in the form of energy.
Over time, high blood sugar can damage the blood vessels and nerves in your heart. People with diabetes also have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke. Untreated high blood sugar can also block blood vessels. This can lead to infections and foot ulcers.
This is because the body digests the last meal (post dinner) and releases glucose in the blood stream which is detected in the fasting test.
