Quick GD question?

jillanderick

I was officially diagnosed with GD again this pregnancy.  I'm out of town this week at my parent's house, but wanted to monitor my sugars a bit before I go back home next week.  I had it last time so I remember most of the details, but I forget one thing! When were you told to check you sugars? 1 hour after finishing a meal, 2 hours after the 1st bite? I completely forget this part! Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

They told me one or two hours after the first bite. If I do one hour I should be below 140. If I do two, I should be below 120. Good luck!

Mine is 1 hour after I have finished my meal and it's supposed to be under 120.

I test two hours after first bite it needs to be under 120

2 hours after the first bite OR if it's a long meal because you had courses then it's 90 minutes after finishing.
