Question about my blood levels

Paula • Mother of two 👶🏻👩🏻

Hey everyone,

So I had gestational diabetes in my previous pregnancy, almost 13 years ago. I was young and didn’t know how to follow a diet and didn’t follow the rules. I’m now 11 weeks pregnant, and been watching what I eat and my dr suggested I meet with the diabetes counselor and to start checking my blood levels 4 times a day to see if I’m developing gestational diabetes again. I started a strict diabetes diet a couple days ago, and was barely able to get my monitor today. I ate my lunch and tested exactly one hour after my first bite like they instructed. My blood sugar level draw was 96? So I redid it and it was 97. Doesn’t this seem to low ?
