oh cauli pizza oh yeeeek ouch!!!! :D I love cauliflower cheese though! But as for pizza think I will pass on the cauliflower and eat the plain base instead! :D

Yeah Jopar I have to agree, rice really is quite lethal, especially white rice, hence I don't touch the stuff, only consume brown rice. But I tested 6.9 mmol 2 hrs postprandial on brown earlier on with (even with protein), not good at all. Must try harder! :D

Hi Jem, thanks for your advice. I think I'm going to take Sue's advice and try to test it 3 hours after the carb/fat/protein to see if the BSL would go up. I thought it must have been too good to be true about the steady BG! :D

Hi Sue, that's a good point. I hadn't thought about testing 3 hours after the combined meal. I must do that. But wouldn't the BG been long gone from the system by then? Also I have a bowl of easy-made fine oat porriage with organic oat milk for breakfast (can't use cow's milk as I'm lactose...

Hi all: I have noticed that each time if I combine carb with either fat or protein (e.g. cheese and tomato sandwich, chicken and rice) then my BSL remain steady after 2 hours (around 4-5 mmols). Also my blood sugar almost always remains high mid-morning after breakfast (in mid to high 7...

Hi Trinkwasser Thanks for the link, it was really useful; I remember when I was first diagnosed I was literally begging the diabetic nurse for a meter that would take the smallest drop of blood, the thinest needles and the most painless lancet as I was breaking out in a sweat and almost reduced...

Hi Padulica, at my OGTT my result actually came out as pre-diabetic, but because I'm pregnant I have therefore been classified as GD. Thanks for your encouraging advice, I guess watching what I eat is something I would have to really keep an eye on from now and beyond pregnancy. I must say...

Hi again Hanadr, I only have the fingers lancet (that came free with the glucose meter) and not the alternative site lancet. I did ask about alternative site testing but was adviced against it as it is not accurate enough. I must say this whole GD business is really getting me down sometimes...

Hi Hanadr, I would love to test my BSL each time after emptying my bladder if there is no pain involved :D but my poor fingers could only take so many needle pokes a day (my GD is controlled through diet only) :D . But yea you are right I suspect it must be the low renal threshold. Although I...

Hi Padulica, Many thanks for your advice; because of the GD I more or less expect there would be some glucose in my urine from time to time, but to be tested for high glucose levels each time (lately) it's quite unnerving :)

Hi again: Thank you all so much for answering my question; I test my BSL on average twice a day. And very occasionally have readings of 7 mmol or slightly over (and an 8.7 mmol once, :shock: ). But mostly it hovers between the high 3 mmols to the low 6 mmols. I have also tested an hour...

Hi all, I have been diagnosed with GD at 24 weeks (am now 33 weeks) and my urine always tested positive for sugar (glucose+++ which was high) on each of my antenatal visits, but then when I self-tested my BSL using a glucose meter immediately afterwards it always showed up as low (5 or 4 mmol...
