I have twice had gestational diabetes with my last two pregnancies. The blood test I had after I'd given birth the second time came back that I was glucose intolerant. My morning blood sugars have recently been in the 7's but are usually normal during the day as I follow a strict gi diet. My question is does my morning reading now mean that I would be diagnosed as diabetic and not just intolerant? It is coming up to a year ago that i had my baby. If anyone could help I'd be grateful.
No one on here is qualified to diagnose you, I'm afraid, and the best advice I could give you would be to make and appointment with your doctor for a fasting BG test and an HbA1c, so you can see what's been going on over the last 3 months. Only your doctor can diagnose you, and having the tests will put your mind at rest one way or the other.
Make sure you tell them you've been a bit concerned about your readings lately, and ask specifically for the HbA1c to make sure they do that as well. Sometimes they don't do it automatically.
