GD mamas that Test their Blood Levels..

posted 18th Jun
What does your doctor say your normal blood status should be?

My doc says my fasting sample should be between 60-90
and my 1 hour post meal sample should be 100-120.
I am just wondering if this is the norm for all mama's with GD.

and any where from 75/80 to 100 for fasting

I test 5 x a day and for fasting my #'s are supposed to be below 90..and 2 hours after a meal they are supposed to be below 120
the best way that I found to keep my #'s in a good range was to take a couple of walks a day

Yeah I think I need to do more walking. even taking insulin twice a day I just cannot seem to get my levels where they are suppose to be ..even on the diet.

My fasting, when I first wake up, is supposed to be less than 95. My levels after my meals are to be less than 140 an hour after I eat.

My last one I had insuline 4 times a day (2 shots at night and 2 in the morning) (the surrenge would be so full that is why 2 shots) and I could not get mine down. My body just rejected it. I had to deliver early because I started to loos water retention from it

don't beat yourself up about your #'s too much that won't help you at all..if you are sticking to your diet and trying to stay active then that's all you can do...sometimes it's still outta your control no matter what you do!
I know sometimes too that certain meds can make your #'s jump higher ...that may be something to consider too!

mine is the same. fasting should be 60-90 and one hour after eating i should be from 90-120. i test first thing in the morning and then one hour after eating a proper meal. lately i have been testing a bit more since i don't always eat real meals but eat small stuff all day.
