Gestational Diabetes Fasting Sugar Level

2025-02-28 16:35:29
My wife has recently been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She is 28 weeks pregnant currently. Is there any ideal time for taking the fasting sugar levels ? We've noticed that the results vary quite a bit within 15 mins after waking up. Numbers tend to go down quite quickly in a span of 10-15 mins

Atleast 6-8 hrs of fasting u shd be to take the FBS test. If u r using glucometer at home it give report of capillary blood... Venous blood report is more authentic than capillary blood report
