Super confused about fasting numbers
On my gestational diabetes test my fasting number was elevated by one point. The others were fine. Now I am supposed to monitor my blood sugar and adjust my diet (no insulin). Again, all numbers are OK, but the fasting ones are moving up and down and I can see no clear pattern. I can have a really low value after dinner and still wake up with a high-ish value in the morning. I can eat a giant greasy meal at night and be fine. One time I exercised after dinner and then had the worst value ever. So I thought I might need a late night snack because I read about that, but I can’t see a clear pattern with that, either. And I wonder if the quality of my sleep makes a difference because when I slept poorly the values weren’t good, either. Except something is always different and there are too many variables to tell what is really affecting what. I’m afraid I can’t figure this out soon enough and they could put me on insulin. Does anyone have any tips?
