Hi Guys, I have GDM (currently 18weeks pregnant) and have been taking insulin since week 8 as my BG levels were high immediately after I got pregnant. This is my second GDM pregnancy, after the first one I took an OGTT test and the results came back normal, no insulin resistance whatsoever, my...

yeah, it was 5.5% when I did the OGTT

Hi Guys, Does any of you know what it means if my OGTT results were fine (5-7.5-6.8), but I frequently measure high glucose levels at home, mostly way long after eating (peaking at 2-3hrs, not even after fatty foods)? Around 8-9s. The glucose measuring device seems to be working okay-ish...

A quick update from me: Just got the results of the OGTT: Glucose: 0’: 5.0 mmol/l 60’: 7.5 mmol/l 120’: 6.8 mmol/l Insulin: 0’: 4.9 mIU/l 60’: 27.4 mIU/l 120’: 26.4 mIU/l hba1c 5.5% HOMA-IR 1 I guess it seems to be okay-ish so far, right? Will go back for another OGTT once I stop...

Thanks, will do for sure. As far as I know breastfeeding improves BGL, so I assume it might get worse once I stop it

Yeah, since then I tested again with a big slice of cherry pie and my BS was 8.5 after 2hrs so it’s for sure that I have some kind of diabetic condition. I’m quite surprised though as I’m only 30years old, have always been slim and sporty and ate healthy most of my life. Guess it’s genetics, my...

Thanks! I’m just trying to figure out if it’s possible that I have developed pre-diabetes or diabetes. I had GDM and gave birth 3 months ago. I’m sometimes checking my BS and it spikes at the above mentioned values. Will go for OGTT next week though, so I’ll see if anything remained.

Try to incorporate good quality carbs in every meal. By the end of my pregnancy I could only tolerate bulgur with almond milk for breakfast, whole wheat pasta with cottage cheese and bacon for lunch and whole wheat bread with ham or eggs for dinner. I was told by my doctor that it is...

Is it normal to have BS spikes of 8-9 30mins, 1 hour after eating in non-diabetic people even if the BS level goes under 7.8 after 1.5-2hours? I heard somewhere that non-diabetic people rarely go above 7.8 even after eating a high-carb meal, but it is quite confusing. Is 7.8 the absolute maximum...

Does somebody know what the normal value is at 60 min during OGTT? I understand that it should be under 7.8 after 2hrs but I cannot find proper info about the 60min requirement. Also, let’s say that the 2hr value is under 7.8, but any value before (except for fasting glucose) is above this...
