[QUOTE="azure, post: 1384891, member: 39639"] [USER=378837]@sczaja[/USER] I'm not a medical professional so I can only give my personal opinion, but those daily results look good to me, apart from the odd higher one. You'll probably be given targets by your doctor, but the ones I had (as a Type 1) were no more than 7.8 one hour after eating and no more than 6.5 two hours after eating. I was also told to aim for a fasting result below 6, preferably in the 4s or mid 5s. Usually, people diagnosed with GD in the UK try to control it with diet initially. They're then re-assessed to see if that's working, and monitored regularly during pregnancy to ensure their blood sugar remains in target. You mentioned Metformin - what other drug did you see that worried you? Do you know what plan your team there have? Are they going to monitor you for a while? Is there a max blood sugar after which they'll recommend meds? Have you been given dietary advice? [/QUOTE]
