[QUOTE="tracy1975, post: 632505, member: 128021"] Hi, I'm 28wks pregnant and went for a growth scan on Monday. Baby is measuring on the 94th centile although I'm not sure about the acuracy of these scans as have read that they can be up to 10-20% out. They want me to have a [URL='http://diabetessupport.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=48653#']glucose[/URL] tolerance test so have bought a blood glucose monitor from the chemist. My reading so far are as follows: Wednesday: Pre lunch: 4.7 1hr post lunch: 7.9 Pre dinner: 6.1 did have a snack a little while before. 1hr post dinner: 6.2 Thursday: Fasting: 5.3 did have a glass of orange juice about 30 mins before getting up 1hr post [URL='http://diabetessupport.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=48653#']breakfast[/URL]: 7.3 Pre lunch: 4.4 1hr post lunch: 5.4 Pre dinner: 4.4 1hr post dinner: 7.9 worried this was high so tested again straight away and got 8.1. Had eaten burger and chips without a bun. Yesterday: Fasting: 4.5 1hr post breakfast: 4.9 Pre lunch: 4.7 1hr post lunch: 5.4 Pre dinner: 3.9 1hr post dinner: 7.4 Today: Fasting: 4.6 1hr post breakfast: 7.3 Pre lunch: 4.4 1hr post lunch: 8.1 had a large white baguette with cheese and pickle Also tested on Thursday after drinking a 500ml bottle of lucozade and readings were 7.0 after 1hr and 4.4 after 2 hours. I'm worried that 8.1 is high and most of yesterday's readings seem on the low side. Are these readings normal? [/QUOTE]
