[QUOTE="Louise746, post: 2351657, member: 535841"] Hi All I was diagnosed just before Xmas over the phone by G.P. My blood test result was 55 I think, from memory. The doctor said he would give me six months to change my diet, lose weight and do more exercise, then they would test again. That was about it! I had gestational diabetes 11 years ago, but I can’t remember much! I have bought a monitor and am recording and monitoring (but struggling to make sense of the results). Please can someone advise me: 1) when testing after a meal, is it one hour, or two, and is it from the start of eating or the end? 2) how much will lack of sleep affect my readings? 3) After 2 weetabix with milk and blueberries, my bs went from 7.8 (fasting) to 16.8! But then dropped down to 5.6 one hour after lunch....is this bad? 4) my bs on waking is always 7.8 - 8.4....any tips on how to get this down please? sorry for all the questions! I feel so lost!
