How to get fasting numbers down!
Recently diagnosed with GD and was given the prick test thing yesterday. I have to test during the following times:
Day 1:
Before breakfast
Before lunch
Before dinner
Before bed
Day 2:
Before breakfast
1-2hrs after breakfast
1-2hrs after lunch
1-2hrs after dinner
And repeat day 1, day 2 etc.
During my glucose test the only one I ‘failed’ was the fasting one (first blood test). I had to be under 5.0 and I tested 5.4.
The dr said I need to call them if I test 5.1 or above 3 days in a row or 5 times a week BEFORE BREAKFAST.
I tested this morning before breakfast and resulted 5.5..... this is the one I’m most concerned about.
My question: HOW DO I GET THIS NUMBER DOWN? I do NOT want to have to give myself insulin 😓😥
