Thank you v much for your wisdom and support - I really appreciate it!

Ate later again last night due to logistics - 7.2 post meal. Woke in the night - 5.6. Level without moving from bed first thing - 5.2. Post wee two minutes later - 5.7. It's been a v consistent 0.5 rise from fasting without moving from bed to taking it again after I've got up, so am sure that...

Fasting is bang on what I've been told it should be too, which I'm pleased with!

Had finished dinner by 7.20 last night. Post meal 5.6 (even though I had potato!) and fasting before I got up was 5.3 this morning. Another 0.5 rise after getting up, etc.

4.8! I reckon it may be the waking rise that's caused my higher levels in the past. I will experiment more though...

Dinner (beef casserole, small bit of mashed potato, carrot, broccoli, small amount of sweetcorn) was 7.5 (finished eating at 6pm, so much earlier than usual). Just tested again before going to bed (no snack) - 4.9. Am sure you're all on tenterhooks as to what the morning will bring...!

Yep, I can try that def. Thank you, good idea! Hmm, what to have that I can eat several nights in a row...!

One hour after meals should be 7.8. It generally is less than this and I can always work out why it's not. It's the fasting that's less explicable!

Last night was 9.7, but I went out for dinner (didn't go mad but hard to know exactly what's in stuff when you don't cook it from scratch yourself!). 6.1 this morning. Gah!

Mm, could be, though I do often eat fairly late. I reckon it's the waking rise, as you say. Will see what tomorrow brings!

I didn't have a snack - I ate quite late (finished at 9.20pm). I'll def try testing before I get out of bed tomorrow morning - I generally get up, go to the loo, wash my hands (thoroughly and rinse with water twice so as not to leave soap residue), then test. I retested this morning after I'd...

3.35am = 5.4. Fasting this morning = 5.4. I'm baffled! Post meal last night was 9.6.

OK, sounds like a good plan - thank you!

Thank you for replying! Various things - peanuts, cheese, glass of full-fat milk. I took my levels after a 7.0 reading after lunch and it was 4.6 (three hours after lunch). I do get up to the loo most nights, so I could test then too!

Hello, all I'm almost 18 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with GD at 14w. I had it with my last pregnancy and was diet controlled (but didn't find out till far later on in pg that time as had a routine GTT rather than an early one). I've been OK at my mealtime control (few blips here and...
