thanks dazza, so do you think i am pre-diabetic? its just confusing as i can manage icecream, desserts, but even that burgen bread will send blood sugars over the mark, so what does this mean? it just doesn't seem to show on a gtt. i don't know if the neuropathy is related to my blood sugars...

hi thanks for your response

do you think so? it is bizarre because when i was pregnant, the only time blood sugars seemed to go high was at lunchtime, that was when i was eating sandwiches, the consultants were confused, they said "do you eat more for lunch than dinner?" i can eat flapjacks, chocolate but it seems to be...

hi thanks for the reply, so i don't understand really, if i can have normal glucose tolerance which is a larger bottle of lucuzade containing i don't know how many carbs and have normal figures after 2 hours, how is it i can only eat 18 grams of carbs in bread and it takes me up to nearly 10...

Hi Everyone, I posted on here a month or so ago, i will just give someback ground information again. Im 36 with 2 children aged 2 and 6. Gestational diabetes with both. I'm only 7.5 stone and 5.2 in height. Im still confused. I have been having problems with my feet for the past year and half...

thanks again harper for your time, i didn't self monitor as well as doing the gtt, i don't think mine was 75gs, it was a small carton of the glucose drink not lucusade. its weird as i ate the same thing during the week and the week before, and my blood sugars were around 6 so i just don't get it...

hi harper that sounds like me, i did the glucose tolerence test, first one after my son isaac was fasting 4.4 2 hours later 5.1 did it again, fasting 4.9 2 hours later 5.9. i seem to have a problem with lunch, any bread will send my bs levels sky high, however, normally during the week i am more...

thank you everyone for your replies. tested again after lunch at 1.hour 45 mins. 8.2? so whats going on. only ate 2 slices of multiseed brown bread, total carb count 26. my results have been fine up until now.?

thank you Jim, i think i will keep testing. it does seem odd that i would be pre-diabetic as i am like a stick insect! no family history of diabetes??? it just worried me that dr beirstine website it said an hba1c of 5.4 was 'bad control'. and that normal people don't go over 6.6. I do panic a...

hi there thank you so much for taking the time to reply. my blood sugars before a meal are normally below 5.5. I was told by a few people on this site i am pre-diabetic as they said normal people wouldn't get spikes like that, also on that website is it dr beirstine or something he said...

hi there, i am quite new to this site and i wondered if anbody would be kind enough to answer a few questions. I have not been diagnosed with diabetes, but i believe i am pre-diabetic. I am 36 years old, i have had gestational diabetes twice with my 2 boys one is 2 and one is 6. I am 5ft 2 and...

thanks for your reply spirits, i am actually going to see a neurologist about my feet, i should get an appointment through next month. i am going to speak to him about this and see what he says. i think i will buy some strips,i have the metre in the cupboard, i also work for nhs so we have some...

i also wondered how i can check blood sugars, strips are very expensive, the gp wont provide them if i am prediabetic, but they are not even ackowledging that i am pre-diabetic

thanks for your reply, so why won't the gp do anything , if i am prediabetic and i am having foot problems already, surley they can't ignore this?
