How did your dietician/doc decide you need medicine/insulin?

Question

I'm at my first week of tracking. Majority of readings are good but once in a while they are at 150 at 1 hr (but drop to good level at 2 hr). I figured what food triggers it. Would I need to take med or insulin bc a few numbers are high after 1 hr?

Answer

I was put on metformin at night when 50% of my fasting numbers were high. A few numbers here and there didn't trigger the meds. I was told it also depends on how low your lowest numbers are too. Hth

Answer

So I am just finished with week one of tracking. The diabetes specialist did not tell me what numbers are the  normal range. Do any of you have an idea? Here's my log..

Answer

My maternal fetal dr told me that as long as 1/3 of my readings aren't out of range, they wouldn't seek to add meds.  I text 4x/day....and I report my numbers every Monday.
