GD moms, 1 hr post meal numbers

oandmplus1

I have been diet controlled GD for about 3 weeks now. I was orginally testing my 2 hr number but the doctor says they prefer the 1 hr number. My 2 hr post meal numbers and fasting almost always looked great. My 1 hr numbers are around 120's and 130's. My doctor just wants them under 140, so I am ok, but just barely. I can't eat more than 1 to 2 carb choices at breakfast or 3 at a meal, with snacks of 1 to 2 without causing high numbers, and I stick to those amounts very closely.

Just curious what your 1 hr numbers look like diet controlled and whether your doc wants them under 140 or 120. And also if you test 1 hour after first or last bite.

I test 1 hr after I'm finished. I'm a slow eating and I'm often home entertaining my 2yo during meals. My doctor never specified if I should test 1 hr from 1st bite or not. My number should be less than 140. I cannot eat any simple carbs- white bread,

I test 1 hr after and have to be under 140. My dr doesn't really care which I do. Sometimes if I'm running errands or something, I'll test at 2 hours instead and the number would need to be under 120. I also eat fairly slow and am usually also feeding DD1

I test 1 hr after my first bite and my number should be under 130.  I am on glyburide for my fasting numbers and it is now (as of the last week or two) becoming harder to control my after-meal numbers with diet alone.  I am allowed 2 carb cho

I'm supposed to be under 130 at 1 hour after first bite. If I was using 2 hour numbers, I'd be able to eat anything and everything so a 1 hour number really is the most indicative of what's going on with my blood sugar.

I test 1 hr after my last bite and have to be under 140. Breakfast, lunch and dinner I am limited to 30g of carbs a meal and 15g with each snack.
