To anyone with Diabetes Knowledge, I just did a 3 hour at home test..?

You know the lab test a doctor usually sends you to look at your blood sugar levels, the one where they test your blood sugar every hour for 3 hours after drinking 75mg of sugar? Well, I have a blood tester kit I got for free and decided to try copy the test at home instead of at a lab because I have no insurance. I drank 50mg of sugar maybe a little more than that, fasted 12 hours before doing this also. My BS was 93 this morning(didnt eat anything this morning or throughout the 3 hours of testing), then I drank the the sugar water.. an hour after drinking it my BS was 120, 2 hours later it was 81 and then 3 hours later it is 65?! This is the first time I've ever checked my blood sugar, can somebody please tell me if this is normal or should Is this an alarm sounding off? My boyfriend also checks his blood sugar because he is boarderline. I am so scared because I do not have any insurance! I've struggled with trying to concieve and have always had irregular periods and I am also diagnosed with PCOS. Please, what is everyones opinion?
