Thanks it just doesn't seem to be going down but haven't been doing it long with less carbs.

Were you diagnosed diabetic or prediabetic with that reading? I am just short of the official hba1c for diabetes so fell into prediabetic range.

Hi been diagnosed prediabetic since December,in that time mostly my only abnormal bg readings have been my fasting, generally high 6s,today an 8.0. Have been following lchf diet but the morning readings never go down. Had a few hiccups with the diet but better than I was. Question is with this...

Hi I'm prediabetic and my fasting were quite high at 7 plus, managed to cut carbs so getting low 6 readings but if I have a blip and eat some carbs in the evening my fasting always shoots right up again, is this normal? Would my body really keep all that extra sugar that long? Confused as it...

Thanks my lunch and evening meals are generally fine it's just morning and after breakfast is the problem, just worried how it's gone up obviously in the 3 weeks I've been taking readings!

I'm doing ok,had a few blips, managing well with the yoghurt for breakfast and seeds or just eggs,it's the evenings I struggle with as still have Xmas snacks! I am trying the 8 week blood sugar diet although to a slightly more calorie one to start!

Hi I was diagnosed prediabetic in December with a fasting glucose of 6.1 and hba1c of 46 having had gestational diabetes twice. I have been monitoring my blood since and cutting out a lot of carbs. What has concerned me is my high fasting compared to the levels the doctors saw, they seem to be...

It's certainly been an eye opener, when I had gd my fasting bloods were normal and fine,no problems,since testing now I've realised how high they are which is concerning,my after meal readings arent too bad though, they seem to be worse when I've had a bad night or ill as well,only partially...

Thanks I've ordered one now!

Normally weetabix or porridge with no added sugar, my after breakfast readings were always high with gd, nurse said as I'd fasted for so long the hit of carbs was too much, I work in a lab so do test wee occasionally and always positive after breakfast. Told the doctors this years ago and they...

I have had glucose in my urine for a few years especially after breakfast as well so don't know if I can't tolerate it well?

Thank you for reply, it's been 4 years since had gd so trying to remember it all! The nurse was just really brief, she has referred me to a pre diabetes course so hopefully that will be more clear. Thanks about the glucose meter,my mum has offered to buy me one for Xmas!!! [emoji23]

Hi had gestational diabetes twice and now been told have prediabetes, levels were 6.1 fasting and hba1ç of 46. Nurse just said cut back on carbs and increase exercise. Just wondered if anyone found getting a glucose monitor useful? Obviously when I was pregnant I got one and was handy but with...
