Fasting number (when you first wake up) 90 and below....breakfast, lunch and dinner should be under 120 of you do the 2 hr, 1 hr testing is under 140. Basically if doc didn't mention diet I wouldn't worry, just drink a lot of water! Good luck
Here for some advice!
I took my one hour a few weeks ago and I got 139 it needs to be below 140 my doctor said. Becuase it was close he wanted me to repeat the one hour, I did today and I got 187, way to high he said. He doesn't even want to do the three hour. We are going straight to testing for two weeks and I have to log it all down after two weeks he will look over my logs and we will go from there. I got my meter here in a few hours and will start testing 2 hours after every meal. And first thing when I get up. What I need help with is what are good numbers to look for? My doctor didn't say anything about numbers to look for , he did tell me not to change my diet during these two weeks, I just really want some advice and to be in a group that understands how sad I feel right now! I know it's not my fault my body is doing so much right now.

My guidelines were 95 in the morning prior to eating, 140 or lower an hour after your first bite of breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you can't test at the hour, 120 or lower after 2 hours. My nutritionist recommended 45g of carbs at breakfast, lunch, dinner and three 15g carb snacks (I have an active lifestyle so not sure this is the same for all). You can eat as many non carb snacks as you want a day - string cheese, eggs, most veggies. Stay away from bananas and anything white - rice, fries, potatoes, bread :) good luck!
