When the midwife (finally) did a blood test I'd had high blood sugars for the few months previous. My son was born by c section and over 5 kg. I've since done 3 gtt's to be told ive got impaired glucose tollerance. I'm going to see my doctor again this wk but was wondering if anyone has an idea of how I got GD in the first place. When on the phone to a GP ive never met before his assumption was that I'm larger with a BMI over 30. My BMI is 26 so slightly over with a waist size of 30 inches. No diabetics in my close family and I was very active and fit prior to having my baby. With a BMI of 23. It's frustrating that the doctors can't seem to tell me how & why I got this and what to do next to prevent type 2.</p></blockquote><p></p>
