Glucose finger prick testing
Hi there
Just wondering if anyone is glucose finger prick testing for GD… have your team asked you to test 1 hour from starting a meal or 1 hour from ending it?
I find it weird that mine have said 1 hour from starting. Sometimes I eat a meal in a matter of minutes (breakfast) but if I’m having a nice dinner it might take 30/40 mins to eat so how does it make sense to then test 20 mins later. 🤷🏻♀️
Just finding this weird as surely it would be more logical to test an hour after finishing each meal 🤷🏻♀️
Just interested in what others have been told to do.

Hi lovely, I've been told to test an hour after finishing eating as it gives a more reliable reading x
An hr after finishing, an hour after starting doesn't make sense
I test 1 hour from finishing. X
I’ve been told to test an hour after meal, so been testing an hour after finishing x
I’m glad you all agree with me. I don’t think it makes any sense at all. I’m gonna do an hour after finishing!
I’ve been told two hours after finishing food!

Hi I've just started today and have been told 1hr after finishing my meal. Can you ring them to check? I think as long as you are doing something consistently it should be ok!
