Hiya everyone, I'm new here and looking forward to sharing experiences with you all. I had very bad GD with my 18 month old (thought to be GD at the time) and I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant again. My fasting and after breakfast levels started to raise slightly at around 8 weeks and I've been on insulin since I was 11 weeks. The consultant sent me to have a hba1c test at the same time as giving me my prescription as he said it's a bit early for it to be GD and that he thinks I may be type 2. Well this came back at 45 (6.3) which is high but not high enough to diagnose type 2. He said for the pregnancy we're carrying on as we normally would and we would have a clearer picture after the baby is born. He still thinks I may be type 2 but well controlled (or have impared glucose at the very least). The thing is, my sister had a hba1c a few months ago which came back as 50 and her GP has said that's normal and nothing to worry about. This has me very confused as I was told by my consultant that I would have been diagnosed as type 2 if mine had been over 48. I asked her to double check with her GP and she had another one call her and tell her it's normal and that I've made her into a paranoid patient. I suppose I'm just wondering why my number means possible type 2, yet although higher, she's been given the all clear? I'm more than happy to go along with consultant though as don't want to take any risks to mine or bubbas health if there's even a chance I'm type 2.... This whole thing has just confused me. Sorry for long post xx
