Hi, hope everyone is keeping safe.
I recently failed my 1 hour screening for gestational diabetes, and it's fair to say I got little upset. My husband uses a glucose meter, so I've been proactively measuring myself to try put my mind at rest (if I have it or not, I want to do the right thing).
My problem is my fasting level is too high, but all my other scores seem to be ok. So I'm confused and it's been causing mood problems as I can't stop thinking about it. I'm measuring in the morning, 1 hour after breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm only on day 3 but my fasting number was high and freaked me out a bit!
Can someone with a bit more experience please give me some advice?
Day 1:
Fasting -109.
After breakfast - 119
After lunch - 108
After dinner - 103
Day 2:
Fasting - 99
After breakfast - 105
After lunch - 104
After dinner - 95
Day 3:
Fasting- 105
