[QUOTE="annazoe32, post: 1912111, member: 474014"] This is totally appalling advice by GP. Nice guidelines say if you have a fasting blood test above 5.6 (this would include before meals) you have gestational diabetes! Where are you based and do you have a midwife? Ask the midwife and insist on being referred to local outpatients hospital for diagnosis. You can have a GTT at any stage in pregnancy if they suspect! Hope this helps. It definitely doesn’t mean you have diabetes prior to diagnosis and like you said your hba1c was 30 so you’re fine don’t worry about that! [/QUOTE]
