I would like to know an approximate amount of sugars and carbohydrates are in a blood glucose test for gestional diabetes. I’ve had it with the first pregnancy and now with the second and the count was very high (over 200). It was the orange liquid I had to drink (both times). It looked like it was a little more than a cup of liquid. Thanks for your help.

I need to take the test, but i wanted to know if it is like the glucose tolerance test, or is it just a simple blood test. Thanks for your help.

About 2 weeks ago i went for blood work and they came back and said my blood sugar was high. They said that they have to give me a Thyroid check. Now i don’t have diabetes. But i am over weight. How can i get my blood sugar levels low because i do not wish to get diabetes. Ok thanks for your help

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes (controlled through exercise and diet, no meds at this time). I’ve gone to a ton of websites and read literature on diabetes, but cannot find a straight answer about testing my blood sugar.

For diabetics out there….
When should I test?
Should I test after fasting (say after sleeping) or before a meal?
How soon after a meal should I test?
How many times a day?

Thanks for your help!
