Not on any medication. I once had 4+ in my urine and in brackets it said (28 mmol) All id eaten that day was a whole meal cheese sandwich, so it seemed a crazy amount of glucose to be in my urine. I know pregnancy can do strange things but I wish I could understand it.

I have been following the guidelines they give to pregnant women in my Trust with GD. They say to test after 1 hour and needs to be <7 mmol, pre meals 4-5 mmol and if you’re testing after 2 hours also, then <6.4 mmol. ive done a mixture of testing times but usually after 1 hour. So with...

Hi a bit of background, I’m 39 weeks pregnant and passed 2 OGTTs at 30 and 35 weeks pregnant but I continue to get glucose in my urine, ranging from + to +4 depending on what I’ve eaten. My healthcare professionals have now just wiped it off as “one of those things”. But it concerned me, so I...

Thank you for the reply. My worry is that many women with GD are told to aim for < 5 mmol on fasting and < 7 mmol one hour after first bite of meal, which my figures don’t represent ☹️ Struggled to be below 7 just an hour after food. I also worry that the 2 hour post meal readings that are in...

My urine showed +++ ketones on waking this morning (no sugar in urine) and overnight fasting level of 5.2. Should I be concerned by this? I’ve also lost half a pound since last week. I feel like my obsession over what I eat is now causing more harm than good

Thanks for the reply! I have no idea - it’s a mystery how I can get a 3+ reading in my urine and my BG at that time be 7.3 mmol. I just don’t understand it thank you

Just to add - I’m now 38 weeks tomorrow and afraid to be let to go to full term if I have undiagnosed GD.
