You don’t have to. Your blood sugar literally changes minute to minute and hour to hour. It isn’t impacted by what you are eating even a day before. They even told me to eat a nice breakfast, just to avoid fruit juices directly before the test. It’s checking to make sure your pancreas is operating properly during pregnancy. So if sugar isn’t filtered out of your body within a few hours then your body isn’t processing glucose well anyway and you’ll quickly find that out from the test!

You can also buy a cheap monitor like I did from Amazon. They’re very easy to use. Take it first thing when you wake up, an hour after eating, two hours after eating. You can even simulate a glucose test by drinking a soda or two on an empty stomach: Easy Touch Diabetes Testing Kit - Easy Touch Meter, Easy Touch Blood Glucose Test Strips, OWell Lancets 30g, Easy Touch Lancing Device, Owner's Manual https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HF5L98E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_GFkzcCNuqrLGv

Welcome to the club! Though not really, since being diabetic sucks. But here's some advice:


When I was first diagnosed, I sat down with a nutritionist for an hour. She helped me learn the difference in carbs, how they affect me, and how to portion them. She gave me easy charts to follow and advice on meal plans. It was nice because she wasn't judgey and didn't make me feel stupid for not really knowing what Carbohydrates on labels meant. Maybe you should seek out an appointment with one?


Get a blood glucose meter. It will tell you what your blood sugar is at. They're pretty cheap and available on Amazon or Walmart. You can measure it when you first wake up to see what your body naturally sits at without any food in it. Then measure it 2 hours after a meal and see how your body processed what you just consumed.


Also, you're AIC is not crazy high. With good diet and a little movement, you can get it back into the 5's or even 4's. Normal A1C range is under a 5.7. If you can lower your numbers, they'll take you off medication. But if you ignore the results and keep letting your A1C rise, you'll be put on higher dosages and more pills and then insulin. I know it's hard scary depressing news, but it's life saying "hey, it's time for a change."

You can do this.
