Hey! Im new here. Today i had my GD results back and they said my first was 5.2 and then after that glucose drink it raised to 5.4. They said nothing about whether or not I have GD. I'm 28 weeks pregnant and am worried. Please help!

Thank you. That's what I thought but I keep being told different by people on a support group for pregnant women on FB x

As @catapillar has said "You don't have Gestational Diabetes." If you did have GD the second result would have been very much higher than 5.4.

I was never told my results 5 years ago, so assumed all was ok when I was not contacted with any news. Had you been running diabetic numbers, they would have shown well above 6 at the 2 hour mark. Time to relax, enjoy viewing those grainy scan pictures, and keep thinking if names. Congratulations to you, be happy and be well x
