How to use glucometer?

Question

Hi, I was told to do prick finger 7times a day once a week.So I am alittle confused about the 7 pricking timing. Does it meant I do it before breakfast once after I eat breakfast 2hours once. Then repeat for lunch n dinner and one time just before Bedtime?And between after breakfast pricking timing and before lunch timing is there any timing need take note? As I forgot to ask . Would appreciate anyone whoever recover from gdm advise on ur diet plan and timing of pricking please!! 🙏 This is my third pregnancy but 1st time getting gdm and I am so stressed up and worried about not about to recover from it.#advicepls #pleasehelp

Hello. You need to do one 5mins before you eat your meal. Then there is a section on the paper to write what time u eat your meal, from that time u count 2 hours later and prick again. I did mine 7x a day, twice a week. Still bad, so now I’m on meds for GDM. 🥲

Yes I note down what I ate because the gynae will ask what is it I ate during the Time the sugar level spike up.
