Your numbers honestly are pretty good given you're back down to normal by 2 hrs. I don't think I'd be down to normal of 5-6 mmol if I had 4 slices of baguette. Am guessing your hba1c and fasting are all ok as well? I have been eating really strict to try to keep myself from spiking too high...

I realize this thread has been inactive for a while but wanted to post a response as I am in the same boat. First pregnancy, normal hba1c in first trimester but was diagnosed with GD at 28 weeks due to failing OGTT. Failed OGTT again 6 weeks post partum and was told I am prediabetic even...

OGTT as HbA1c is in the normal range... I always wonder if I already had this issue prior to being pregnant (and got diagnosed with GD at 28 weeks). It makes me wonder how many people are not diagnosed until their Hba1c is in the prediabetic/diabetic levels even though they may have glucose...

Hi @Lamont D ! Thanks for responding and super happy to connect with blokes (not just mums) too. I was extremely confused as well by the conflicting data, given my fasting and hba1c were normal! When you say RH, what does that mean exactly? I would've thought this is more reactive hyPERglycemia...

Hello! I'm new to this forum so please bear with me. I'm wanting to connect with mums who had gestational diabetes during pregnancy and the diabetes didn't "go away" immediately after birth of their baby. A little background... I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 28 weeks (first...

Hi @Lilysun, I totally understand as I am going through something similar. Had diagnosed with GD 28 weeks into pregnancy, was diet and exercise controlled. Everyone told me it goes away and given I have normal BMI, hba1c has been in the normal range and no family diagnosed with type 2. I then...
