Hi all!
I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 28 weeks, it was controlled with diet and my 3 weekly HBac1 (?) results were always around the 6% mark which i was told was great..most of my BS levels were within range too (still managed to produce a 10lb 3oz baby boy though lol). I was told to test after birth and thoses were also deemed fine and told if i got two under 11 at 2hrs after tea then to stop, so i did.
Baby is now 6 weeks old and im due to have my follow up GTT test in the next week or so, so yesterday i decided to test my waking level and it was 6.4 (so then re-tested and got the same or close to) and then this morning i got 6.3 on waking..when i had GD it had to be under 5.5 on waking so now im worried i have developed full diabetes with these levels and from googling normal levels it seems to vary between saying those are normal and borderline and pre-diabetes..so now im both confused aND worried!
So here i am to ask you all, am i normal? (lol)?
