Alan's Homemade 3 Hour Glucose Test
Okay, my fellow neuropathics: Here's how it went!!!!!!
Upon waking up, took his blood sugar.
This was
8:45 a.m.(fasting from the night before) - 81
Drank the approx 50 grams of glucose tablets ground up in water. Goal was to take his blood sugar every 30 minutes.
9:15 a.m. - 139
9:45 a.m. - 102
10:30 a.m. - 73 (yeah I know, took this reading a little bit late, I was on the phone)
10:45 a.m. - 83
11:15 a.m. - 80
11:45 a.m. - 89
No dizziness, no fainting, no nothing. He felt fine. He is now eating brunch/lunch.
This is my machine. I check it regularly. I used a new lancet each time and a fresh alcohol swab every time.
Oh, just so you can compare to the 3 hour glucose test he took on January 23, here are the results from that one
Fasting Glucose - 80
Glucose 1 hour - 108
Glucose 2 hour - 74
Glucose 3 hour - 38
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So how did he do????? much thanks!!! P.S. I think the 38 reading on January 23 was a mistake on the lab's part. (or maybe a typo???)
