[QUOTE="annazoe32, post: 1910243, member: 474014"] Sorry but those numbers indicate you might have gestational diabetes. It is unlikely you have diabetes normally though. I am post partum and had gestational diabetes and our targets are normally under 7 or 7:8 1 hour after eating. If you are going by 2 hours then under 6.4 as when pregnant the idea is to test the peak at 1 hour. It does depend on the area you live as targets differ but when pregnant our blood sugars generally lower so targets are completely different to normal diabetes. I don’t know where you live but I would definitely suggest visiting the GP and requesting a GTT to diagnose. Fasting levels in my area when pregnant are 5 or under other areas 5.3 or under. Hope this helps. Gestational diabetes is progressive throughout the pregnancy. When I was 16 weeks I didn’t have it but by 24 I had developed it. So it’s very important you get it checked. I have an amazing healthy baby as had great levels under control. Best of luck Anna [/QUOTE]
