Doc asked me to start monitoring my sugar at home but I didnt fully understand the timings. Is it before food or after, and how many times in a day? just want to do it correctly. thoda confused.
I just kept the glucometer near my breakfast spot so I never forgot the fasting reading. Fix it into your morning routine and its easy. But the timings, take from your doctor.
When I had GD, my doctor made me test fasting in the morning and then after meals. The exact timing they will tell you based on your readings. Please follow their schedule, it changes for everyone.
My gynac did the glucose tolerance test usually around 24-28 weeks for everyone. After that, if anything was high, they ask you to monitor at home at fixed times. Best to let the doctor set the routine.
