Using the glucose monitor instead of juice. Strange results

I can't tolerate the juice, so I am testing my blood sugar with a monitor for a week 4 times a day.  My fasting/morning blood sugar is always slightly elevated by a few numbers. But my after meals are always good; well below the  guideline maximum.  Can this be a sign a diabetes if its supposed to be a fasting blood sugar, or is it just something about my body when I sleep?

    Fasting should be 8-10 hrs after eating (no eating or drinking Except small amounts of water) under 95

    One hour after first bite 130
    Two hours after first bite should be 120

    This is gestational diabetic standards.

    Your doctor sometimes will change the requirements for what they want so you will have to ask them.
    Typically one or two numbers over won't mean GD but they determine that and fasting is hardest to control

    Every dr has different standards, I wasn't able to keep my fasting number below 90 like they wanted but my other numbers were good and I still ended up on insulin.  It is really what your dr wants.

    Oh I know. I'm in a GD group and requirements are all over the place. That's way it said your doctor can/will change them.

    @starla487‌ sorry I can't tell if you are backing me up or being sarcastic :p so that's why I'm restating myself

    Ok, so not too bad.  Its usually an 8 hour fasting time span, cause i get hungry at night and wake up for work.  and its below 95, just not below 90.  My others are below 100 almost all the time. I have like 2 more days until I turn it in so we will see.  Thanks, cause that was making me a little nervous.
