do I have sugar problems?

Question

I just woke up and my sugar is at 103 (8:03am)

(I'm 23 weeks pregnant today)

I woke up a few times in the night and took a sip of apple juice that I have in my side table. 
Could this have been the juice?

Am I gonna need metformin?

Answer

Do you have GD? Is that why you're checking you blood sugar? It depends. If you don't have it, a fasting number of 107-115 I think is cause for concern with type 2. If you do have GD, nix the apple juice all together. My doc wanted fastings less than 95. Over 100 would most likely be a reason they'd put you on meds.

Answer

103 is a normal blood sugar. You won't need any diabetic agent for that blood sugar especially after drinking juice.  Over 150 is usually when we worry about medication. You are fine.

Answer

I was told under 100 every morning. I'm watching my blood sugar as well. I just don't drink any juice at all.

Answer

If you hadn't had the juice then it would be a bit high for a fasting test, but if you had GD your levels would have been much higher having had juice with no food/protein  (I had GD 2 of my 3 pregnancies), I wouldn't worry.

Answer

When I had GD my morning sugar was supposed to be around 95 but under 110 was ok. Apparently it's always higher when you first wake up.  And the juice probably lifted it a bit. I wasn't allowed anything but water to drink when I had GD.
