Gestational Diabetes Fasting Sugar Level
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
