Sugar levels help.

[Shady_R]

I have to check my blood sugar levels 1 hour after eating all meals. But there are times when i forget and its done 2 hours after eating. How much difference does it make if the reading is late.

I had GD with Katie and i always tested after 2 hours, it made a lot of difference.

A lot of hospitals have either a 1 or a 2 hour policy.

I they are telling you to check after 1 hour this will be regs set out by the GD specialist.

You can set your machine to remind you when 60 mins has passed.

It does quite a bit of difference if i tested after 1 hour and my levels could be at 14 but after 2 hours they could be at 9.

Just put an alarm on ur mobe or clock watch

It does make a big difference if you leave it an extra hour. I forget too sometimes but I just make a note in my book that I was late testing.... If it's only a few times I wouldn't worry to much.

I did wonder if it made a big difference. Its quite a bit really isnt it. I have made note of it when its been late too. Think ill have to start setting am alarm lol, my brain is going all mush, but at least its only the odd 1 or 2 that are that late. Thanks both.

Ha ha yeah baby brains is the right word, im quite lucky as i only have to do 1 when i get up, then the others are 1 hour after eating. I would never remember before eating lol. My brain is baby brain at the best of times there days lol.
