Glucose meter finger prick to determine gestational diabetes?
I know that the gestazionale diabetes glucose tolerance test is very inconvenient for those who are preganant. With diabetes type 1, if requested, would be reasonable (possible) simply do skin a finger with a blood glucose meter instead?
This would be faster and less expensive and more comfortable. Of course, is extremely accurate for those who depend on accurate readings for a sliding scale for dose of insulin.
With all due respect, I agree with you that the gestazionale test diabetes is very important. However, I do not believe that the test of time from 1 to 3 is more accurate counter (although are open to any other form of learning). It seems only kill the butterfly with a hammer, for example, the test overkill-una very difficult for MOM pending when available also a need to read which is far less intrusive and difficult.
Thanks or “stupid Nilly – is exactly what that I thought too.” Meter tests for exactly the same thing that the test of time 1 and 3 (gestazionale diabetes may be different from the type 1 or type 2, but the test is in search of what similar) and waiting for 3 hours of testing to see if the counter indicates high levels of glucose (although there is surprising yet perhaps unduly 1 now and 3 hours of test is always necessario-si not necessary to diagnose type 1 or type 2 diabetes)
answer
well yes afterwards.they will still have to do the 1 hour and 3 hour test to get a more accurate reading.i went through this thankfully i didnt need insulin.i had to control by diet.i have to prick my finger 3 times a day to keep an eye on my glucose reading and document it for dr.
thats what i figured i would do…..cuz my moms is also a type 1 and she has all the supplies, but its not a finger prick they do….its a blood test, idk why…i didnt ask cuz i was just like whatever i’ll do it.
i can tell you it will more than likely suck really bad for you, if my mom drank a thing with 50glucose she would be bugging for that whole hour! he sugar would sky rocket!!!
but you gotta go and take the test….sorry.
I was almost a gestational diabetic during each of my two pregnancies, and had many tests to keep an eye on it. It’s not much fun but it’s necessary. I was diagnosed with Type II 3 years ago, long after my kids were born.
Glucose meters are an accurate way for a Type I or II diabetic to test glucose, but gestational diabetes and regular diabetes are two different things. I think it’s best to stick with the tests a woman’s doctor recommends during her pregnancy, to determine whether or not she is a gestational diabetic. It’s nothing to mess around with.
hice los míos hacer ayer y eso es con lo que hicieron mi prueba. there' s ninguna razón para hacer una prueba más comprensiva si están probando solamente su glucosa nivela. pueden tener que hacer una prueba más cuidadosa si usted tenía la prueba de tres horas y la prueba posterior necesaria.
Personally, I didn’t think the gestational diabetes test was uncomfortable at all! The “hardest” part was fasting for 9 hours. All they do is have you fast, take a blood sample from your arm for a “before” sugar level, have a drink that tastes like Kool Aid, wait an hour, then draw blood from your arm again. I FAR prefer blood being taken from my arm than my finger because it hurts less.
