[QUOTE="Bluegrey2019, post: 2118316, member: 513075"] Hello all im new and hoping to get some advise from people in the know. I'm 37 high Bmi under active thyroid and currently 24 weeks pregnant I've been suffering really bad fatigue and after breakfast Monday I had what I can only think was a sugar crash I needed to sleep 1 hour after eating! This started my head whirling I've also got thrush even though I take strong probiotics. I got on Google as you do and gestational diabetes comes up which I am due to be tested for nearer to 28 weeks. So I try to contact midwife phone off to request an earlier test send a message also no reply. So I decided to buy a glucose monitor and had a few goes yesterday testing one hour after eating reading as follows 7.8 mmol 1 hour after breakfast 7.1mmol 1 hour after lunch 6.1 mmol 1 hour after dinner I then tested again at 90 mins and reading had gone up to 7.5 mmol after reading something suggesting 90 minutes to 120 minutes after eating better. Then fasting number this morning 6.2 mmol. I'm at the hospital this morning so will dicuss but can anyone tell me do those numbers look too high? Should I be concerned about the increase after the 1 hr point last night? I'm worried now all 1 hour readings were wrong. Thanks for reading my rambles [/QUOTE]
