Thanks everyone, my GP called with the results and she’s flummoxed by it. She’s agreed to keep an eye on levels by home testing but she’s not convinced that it isn’t a type 1 because I don’t fit any of the type two criteria and none of the tests have come back suggesting it’s a type 2 emerging...

I see the endocrinologist, same person I saw I pregnancy, in December, not ideal but I’m not classed as urgent. I raised in pregnancy that this was not gestational diabetes but something else, she was quite dismissive until I pointed out a whole host of other crazy auto immune things that were...

And weight loss of 4kg and increased appetite

7.8 on OGTT, fasting was fine. All my home readings have been in prediabetes and diabetes range. Symptoms- sweating, headaches, thirst, brain fog ( yes I know I have three children!) funny taste in my mouth, 7 bouts of mastitis in 10m not responding to first line antibiotics, over supply of milk...

does anyone have any experience of impaired glucose tolerance? I’ve been referred to the endocrinologist at Gloucester Royal after experiencing symptoms for three months. I’ve had lots of tests, all clear. My OGTT came back today as impaired tolerance. I had gestational diabetes, baby is now...

So GAD negative but now readings are in Diabetic range, referred to endocrinologist and OGTT on 23rd September. Fasting frequently over 7 and pre bed 10.5 - 11.5 on a very healthy whole grain diet :( And I still feel like utter rubbish.

You say you have a terrible diet and rarely exercise and you’re 21 - are you overweight? Sounds like you need to see a GP and improve your eating today.

I’ve been really happy with the care from my GPs so far but I think the locum needs to work on her delivery. She went from ‘wow, this is really complicated, please come in and see me ASAP today on the phone to ‘stop worrying’. She’s leaving a note for my normal GP for when she gets back and...

So an update - I’m still feeling really ****, called the GP to see if results are back but still not. There was a letter back from the consultant I had been referred to. She read it to me. Readings up to 10 are perfectly normal. I have readings of over 11. I should stop worrying myself and not...

Thank you everyone for your kind and informative replies. Two years ago I was nailing Insanity and really fit, now I just feel rubbish, to put it mildly. The parts I find hardest are the mental fog and the dizziness- it feels like I’m nodding off to sleep and get the head jerk without moving...

Oat smoothie was same as eating a protein sandwich - I’d run out of gf bread - oats, unsweetened soya - also allergic to dairy, diagnosed in 1999 by Southampton Generals Allergy clinic - protein powder- this should have a slow burn and worked when I was pregnant and didn’t result in spikes in...

3.5mmol was after feeding, I couldn’t function, string words together and just wanted to sleep. It was 1300. This was after cutting teeth and wanting to feed more - I’d then had sweets bringing up to 5 as advised by go followed by oat smoothie and had a two hour reading of 14.

I’ll give a bit of background. I’ve been lurking around the site for just over a year on and off. I have a 10m Old, my third child and during that pregnancy I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. My first hospital didn’t recognise the symptoms and consultant refused to accept it was GD...
