Gestational Diabetes Glucose Levels Chart

Is this level high for my husbands blood glucose level?

I am 7 months pregnant and am being monitored for gestational diabetes where i have to use a monitor to test my blood two hours after breakfast/lunch/dinner oh…and when i wake up in the morning.I fill in a chart to take to the doctor to asses my diet etc..
Anyway the chart has e.g 5.5 for morning reading 7.0 for lunch And dinner doctor told me it would be best if i was below these readings.
My husband decided to test today and he got a reading of 7.6 he now thinks he has diabetes .
Is that a high reading? or are those numbers just for someone with gestational diabetes?

That reading is over the normal 6, however it does depend on what your husband has had to eat. It’s not usually of too much concern until the levels exceed 8, however, as always, the best thing is to have a doctor do determining blood tests. The most important one if there is suspicion will be able to average the last three months of blood sugar level.
