[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2515793, member: 100904"] Congratulations, for the baby. What I would suggest is that you ask for a HbA1c blood test. If you haven’t already had that at your post natal check. That will give an indication of average blood glucose levels over the last couple of months. Any cause for concern after that should be followed up by GP. Also, if you have concerns, you could use a meter to test blood glucose levels yourself. Fasting level, then immediately before and 2 hours after meals. That will give you some idea of how you react to various foods, and act accordingly to adjust your diet, if necessary. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
