Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I am currently testing in the mornings and 2 hours after each meal, with the occasional pre-meal test, depending on how I am feeling. I am wondering, however, how do I judge when to test? At the class I attended this past week, the dietician said to test 2 hours after starting to eat, whereas I'd been testing 2 hours after finishing my meal. I try to eat slowly, to feel fuller faster, so it often ends up being just a little over an hour after I finish eating before I test. Is this normal? I had GD when I had my son 5 years ago, and was told at that time to test 2 hours after I finished eating. I'm confused! lol Also, my fasting tests are still running high, but are getting better slowly. I'm diet-controlled for now, no meds, so I'm wondering what I can do to try to bring them down? I'm averaging 9.4 mmol/l (169 mg/dl) in the mornings. My target range is 4-7 (72-126). Any ideas? Thanks! Aly T2 dx 3/17/06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 -ooops, forgot to mention if you test at bedtime and fasting then you can see if you stay pretty much the same or have higher numbers in the morning. This will also tell you if you have any problems during the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
