GD question

babyinhbg

My reading after dinner was 85 below the 120 like he wants but is that too low? It was the same reading this morning. If i get 85 again im testing the machine but im more concerned that my 2 hrs after dinner number was so low since earlier in the day both breakfast and lunch were over 100.

 

thanks!

Don't be too concerned with low numbers as long as you feel okay.  If you're dizzy or nauseated, eat some carbs.  As for the number being lower at dinner, I found that my body handles carbs better later in the day, meaning that I can eat more at dinner than any other meal.  You may need to up your dinner carb intake.

that is a great #.  the only way your # would get too low is if you are on meds of some sort (pills or insulin).  otherwise, too low would be like under 65 and that shouldn't happen cause your body will release glucose stores to fix it (unless on meds).  basically, you aren't like a type 1 that has pancrease that doesn't do it's job.  does that make since?

I had my gd appointment yesterday and was told that when my numbers are low it means that I should be having another starch serving.

I have numbers in the 70's range and was told it was because I was only have 1 or 2 starches with my lunch and dinner...I should add 1 more.

Hope that helps.
