Hi everyone
I have GDM and have been controlling it through diet and exercise since I was diagnosed.
I have been given targets of below 5.1 for fasting, and below 7.8 one hour after eating.
I was keeping mainly within range except for a couple of readings, so i thought i would test my 2 hour BG to see what it was. I was shocked to find that it had carried on increasing and was higher than the 1 hour one.
does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
I thought the whole point of testing at 1 hour is because that is when blood sugar is meant to be highest after a meal?
Thanks
