Ladies w/ GD, I have a (another) question

What are the levels your doctor wants you at? Mine wants me below 90 fasting & 120 2hrs after meals. All the other women I know w/GD were 95 fasting & either 120 or 130 @2hrs post meals. After eating, I'm rarely over 110 ( I could have brownies w/ ice cream & cheetos for lunch & 2hrs later my glucose is 84), but fasting, I'm usually 85+ but never above 92, I was 91 or 92 3 days in a row, this am, back to 89. If I'm over 90 more than 3 days in a week again, I have to take oral insulin @ night Doesn't that seem extreme? I'm just a little weirded out because my fasting glucose is still lower than any of the other girls I know w/ GD. TIA

Re: Ladies w/ GD, I have a (another) question

For fasting my Dr wanted my numbers between 60-95. She usually doesn't like to seen anything in the 90's however. Two hours after each mean between 80-120. I find that my Dr is more interested in my fasting rate than any other numbers at each appointment. Luckily mine have only gone over 90 once. It is usually in the 70's actually.

ETA: I control it with diet.
