Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood glucose levels usually begin to return to normal within an hour or two after a meal has been consumed, before the food is fully digested and absorbed. This is due to the initial rise in blood glucose levels triggering the release of insulin, which helps to transport glucose from the blood into cells for energy use or storage.
