Do I have it?

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.
 
Hi, BattyMrs, and welcome to the forum.

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.

Good luck!

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.
