It depends. This isn't a protocol for BS check that I'm familiar with. I think the idea is to simulate, more or less, the glucola screening, in which case you want your 1-hour to be below 140 (in our lab, YMMV). When GDM moms check their sugars two hours after eating, what we want is less than 125.
At any rate, your fasting BS should be below 105 at the very most, and preferably below 95.
