Last year during my pregnancy i was given a monitor due to impared gtt. I came across it this morning and out of curiosity i tested myself. the reading was 9.2 which according to the tables on this site is diabetic (although i had not long finished a peice of toast and cup of tea) do you think this is anythig to worry about? :roll:

Hi Anni3

It would be difficult to tell on the basis of that one reading, it would be a good idea for you to see your Doctor and get tested again as you had an impaired glucose tolerance before.

You may also find low carb or low GI diet may be beneficial.

Type of diabetes
Treatment type
Non-insulin injectable medication (incretin mimetics)
Out of date test strips or testing just after eating can give high or false readings, but check with your doctor to be on safe side. Better to be safe than sorry.
