Answer

Diabetes is a serious issue and shouldn't be treated lightly. Both you and your baby could suffer severe consequences. Get properly tested please.

Answer

Hm well I'm not sure how it works if you have eaten for the day. I was supposed to fast for 12 hours and then at my appointment I had to drink this drink that tastes like non carbonated soda. I didn't check the amount of ounces it had it in, but I heard that it is equivalent to eating 26 or 28 jelly beans. Anyway, eat the jelly beans fast. After one hour, check your levels. My OB said that 135 is the cut off for the one hour test. She said a lot of people fail the one hour test but pass the 3 hour test. You could test your levels that way and it would probably be a little more accurate.

Answer

Well I have had diabetes since I was a kid.

7 months pregnant now, and doctors want my sugar levels to be under 130 and hour after first bite of food. I literally time myself everytime I eat. 
I went to the gestational diabetes class cause I had to even if I knew almost everything except their expectations for pregnancy and diabetes.
It's the same as having normal diabetes. They want the women with GD sugar levels to be below 130 after first bite.

In my opinion 200 2hrs after is really high
Cause an hour later from first bite your sugar would be at peak. Then it should start dropping.

Answer

I would check at 2 hour mark, at that point it should be below 120.

You should take the real test though, I think 200 is high for an hour but I don't know how big your cake was.
