Passed 3hr but still concerned
Hello ladies, I passed my 3 hour glucose test a couple weeks ago but I was literally so freaked out about failing the 1 hour that I bought a glucometer and started eating low carb and watching my
Levels. I’m going to talk to my doctor about whether there is any more testing I can do just to be safe- like an A1C or something?
Just wondering when you were all told to check your levels and what are your blood sugar parameters. Seems like some people check at 1 and some at 2 hrs after meals, and some are supposed to be under 120 and some 140. I’d like to be as strict with my numbers as possible. I know I might sound crazy - my husband sure thinks I am! I just figured if I got a high level after the 1 hour then there is a decent chance I might be having high sugars regularly.
So far most of my levels have been pretty good, although I don’t totally trust my amazon glucometer bc sometimes I check twice and get pretty different readings. Also the readings that I got during the 3 hr test were not that close to the lab-drawn levels. Thanks everyone for any input Or advice!
