[QUOTE="FoxyLady2000, post: 182910, member: 32316"] Hello there I am a gestational diabetic mother to be as well. The amount of conflicting information out there is staggering to be honest. Also the differences between American and British approach is surprising as well. I was reading an American website regarding gestational diabetes and in there the normal levels are given as Fasting 60-60 (3.3.) Before Meals<=95 (less than 5.3) 1 hr after <120 (less than 6.7) 0200-0300 am between 60-120 (between 4.4 and 6.7) I will post the address for this site again for you as soon as I find. However, my diabetic team gave me completely different limits. They did not bother with lower limits much but they said lower than 5.6 when fasting and lower than 7.8 1 hr after meals. When they talked to me about insulin they said if my blood glucose was measuring lower than 5.3 not to drive but to have something to eat before I drive. That's what they told me. Nobody mentioned about what was a hypo as such. 3.9 before breakfast is just only a tiny bit lower than what I get really. I get 4.2, 4.3 often in the mornings. [/QUOTE]
