Hey Brenda,
After eating, no. Before a meal, slightly high, yes.
Could it be lower, though? Yes.
If you're at 161 two hours a meal, that means you could talk to your doctor adjusting your carb-to-insulin ratio that use to determine how much insulin you should take with the food you eat. By recalculating this amount with your doctor, you can help bring your post-meal glucose level down to 80 to 120.
