[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1640960, member: 85785"] There is a tenuous connection between symptoms of hypoglycaemia and gestational diabetes. If your fasting blood levels are just above normal, which is between 3.5 and 6mmols, that is where most doctors would prefer most diabetics to be and is no concern to be worried about. It is what happens after food that causes your blood levels that most of us would be interested in and what you ate to get them results. The symptoms you are getting, do they happen at any other time other than the glucose test? Do they happen regularly? Testing and experimenting and recording in a food diary will help you and your doctor in so many ways. You can find out which foods are creating the symptoms as well as glucose. It is an important part of how you body is coping with the carbs and sugars that turn into glucose quickly, to give you the sudden drops in blood levels. Probably caused by too much circulating insulin. Keep asking questions, and get to know how to use your glucometer by testing pre meal, and then two hours after first bite. You can use it to find your spike later, by testing at the hour mark or in between those times. If you testing for Hypoglycaemia it usually happens after the two hour mark even up to four hours after eating. I have Reactive Hypoglycaemia and if I don't eat to my meter and eat intolerant foods I will spike very quickly and hypo between three to five hours later depending on what the meal contained.
