Thought I'd start a new thread on this as the other one was getting a bit long.

The docs have decided that my results were slightly high & are treating me as someone with gd.

They have given me a monitoring machine & I have to check my blood sugar levels until my appt next fri.

Anyway i have been testing since fri & so far out of 8 results 2 are slightly higher than they should be..

1 is 7.6 (where max should have been 7.5)
1 is 5.9 (where max should have been 5.5)

Do u think this is cause for concern??

Will the docs take further action??

I am so worried & stressed out now!!!!!!

my levels were high after i failed the tests they tried to control it with diet however for me it didnt work after 2 weeks they had me on a monitor testing my levels a few times a day and started me on meds since then my levels have been better.
Good Luck !

i was allowed water during the fasting. It said on my guidance letter i could have "small sips" while i wasnt allowed to eat. They cant expect you to go 12 hours without water.

hi I've got my GTT on Thursday. I'm dreading it as I'm needle phobic! I've been tryiong not to eat sweet stuff but it seems like that's what I want most. I was definitely a savoury person before I got pregnant but now i crave chocolate! Hope this isn't a bad sign!!!!!

It says on my destructions that nil by mouth from 9pm the previous evening the test unless medication is necessary which can be taken with a small sip of water.

Michelle what meds are u on??

When u were checking ur blood levels urself how high were they??

Michele1026

My Dr wants the numbers between 80-100 they have gone as high as 160's
im on Glyburide Generic of Diabeta 2.5MG
it seems to balance everything out.

hmm see I don't get those figures michelle? perhaps they are measured differently in the uk?
Basically mine should be no more than 5.5mmol before a meal & no more than 7.5mmol 2 hours after a meal...

Are u taking tablets orally on having to take injections??
