Hi everyone,
I have benefited lot via this forum and I know this forum is so helpful and feels like surrounded by loved ones when you need the most. I had GD during my first pregnancy but then maintaining after that and was categorised non diabetic as I was going through GTT every year and now as I am expecting my second baby; I have been diagnosed on my early pregnancy at 8 weeks which was very big surprise to me. I have been referred to hospital but yet paper work going on and I have not been called yet by hospital. But with my experience; I have bought Lancet BG testing meter and doing test since being diagnosed. My post dinner reading and sometime fasting goes high. As per my knowledge; the fasting for GD is should be equal and less than 5. I have always 5.3 and 5.4. But today I had 7.3 which shocked me.
As I am still waiting for hospital call and appointment with diabetes educator; this forum will be my first help. I am seeking advise from experienced people like you on
-what can I do on improve my BG fasting? and how high is it?
-can I do BG fasting test after morning walk?
-what can I eat on dinner to improve my fasting and post dinner reading?
I appreciate all of your suggestion!!!
Thanking you all!!!
