Meanwhile I need a little clarification on what you are saying. You are saying that you test the blood sugar one minute and then a minute later you test again and it drops down. How much does it drop down by? Meters are not exact within a range of as much as twenty points, so if it is less than that it might just be the meter.
I have to take a 3 hour blood sugar test I'm nervous and scared :/ for whoever done it before how was it ?

At 72, I've never had any doctor address anything regarding an elevated blood sugar level from bloodwork done every 6 months! Had bloodwork done 2 weeks ago, my blood sugar level is 133...how do I deal with this?
What has caused this? Doctor is concerned, not frantic about this today, but I am alarmed.
In general, if your blood sugar level is below 100 mg / dL after fasting for at least 8 to 10 hours, then your 
HI 48 year old male, 5 feet 8 inches. 164 lbs. Recently had blood test , Blood sugar came back 128m/dl. Doctor has not recommended any medicines . He suggested to exercise and control the diet. Day before the test had a pasta lunch with cola and small pasta fried fish dinner with 2 drinks(alcoholic). dinner complete at 9.00pm. Also had a antidepressant for sleep. Went the next morning for test around 8.am. Is it possible for my test to be wrong given the previous days gluttony.
This not only shows your level of blood sugar but also shows you the effect of different foods so you can change your diet to keep your blood sugar in range. This diet change, plus exercise and losing weight if you need to can control your blood sugar and if not then your doctor will prescribe one or more oral meds. I suggest you talk to your doctor as well as read up some on diabetes.
Usually, fasting begins at midnight for a test the next day. Your sugar by the standards of your lab states it was high on your first test. The repeat is normal. I am not sure if that was a fluke. I'd probably get it checked in another 6 months to see where you are at. This article may help you understand how blood sugar can fluctuate and when it is normal. https://www.mayoclinic.
With my previous pregnancy, I had to do the 3 hour test and you do have to fast. The lab tech told me at the beginning that my blood sugar level was 86 & that I was definitely not diabetic. Stinky thing was, I still had to do it. I suggest taking a snack or small lunch to eat immediately after you complete the test. Also, you may drink water during the 3 hours. Yay. I got nauseous from fasting so long so that's why the snack, but eat slowly!
t explain the A1C test to you. It is an average of your blood sugars over a 3 month period. Normal is about 5-6 I believe. 6.8 is diabetic. Now how did you get your a1c without a doctor ordering the test?? Do you remember what you ate 2 hours before you got that 400 reading? Did you check it again just to be sure? I bet you had a meal with possibly a lot of starch and carbohydrates? Bread, potatoes, maybe a rich dessert? or your portion size was a little more then it should be?
I m Type-1 diabetic from last 15 years and my blood sugar level used to be under control but from last 2 Weeks, my sugar level fluctuates a lot. Fasting blood sugar is nearly around 300 : before dinner around 500 and after dinner its around 400.There is no change in my diet,exercise or my daily routine pattern. Even I take short acting insulin(novorapid) when my sugar level goes beyond 300 but it doesn't make much difference.
I m really worried.

Oh... They draw your blood, then draw your blood again in an hour then again in another hour if you're doing the two hour. If it's a three hour test then one mere draw after another hour. You get your blood drawn, then sit and wait... No drinking anything but water, no chewing gum, no eating a mint and my fave they remind you of is no smoking haha duh I'm pregnant I'm not gonna smoke! Then you're done.
My blood pressure reacted very well to losing weight and so did my blood sugar. They ran these tests to make sure the possible fungal infection was not associated with any other condition but now I'm a little worried. My doctor rant these tests, including a glucose urine test, back in November and said everything was perfectly normal but to be cautious.
I'm just worried about getting labeled as "pre-diabetic" now.
