That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
After eating, a person's blood glucose level typically rises. This is because the food we consume contains carbohydrates, which are broken down into glucose during digestion. Glucose is then absorbed into the bloodstream, causing the blood glucose level to increase. This rise in blood glucose triggers the release of insulin, a hormone that helps regulate glucose levels by facilitating its uptake into cells. Therefore, the correct answer is that the blood glucose level rises after eating.
