A member asked:
I have gestational diabetes and it's at 61 fasting so i eat a sugary treat to get it back up how long should i wait to take my blood sugar again?

One hour: The low blood sugar is a signal that you need to change your way of eating because a sugary treat will cause your blood sugar to continue to bounce. Eat six equal meals with lots of vegetables and avoid sugar, fruit juices, sweet fruits, and processed grains. Relax fora few minutes and do light exercise for 10 minutes if possible after each meal. In a few weeks you will feel much better.
