[QUOTE="DonutEnter, post: 2221803, member: 520218"] Bit of background - pregnant with my 3rd baby. Had my first 9 years ago age 21. Never tested for GD (no signs of it) 6.6 lbs baby at 39.5 weeks Second baby age 24, passed the GTT at 28 weeks (midwife this time round sent me for it because my notes said my mum had it with me) 7 lbs 15 oz baby at 40 weeks This pregnancy from about 25 weeks my urine has had sugar in it at most midwife appointments. After two occasions of ++ glucose she sent me for a OGTT at 30 weeks which I passed. Had a 3+ glucose urine sample 5 weeks later so at 35.5 weeks pregnant I had another OGTT which I passed (3.1 mmol fasting , 6.8 mmol 2 hours after the glucose drink) I have continued to have sugar in my urine, ranging from +1 to ++++ . I decided to buy my own at home glucometer to see what my blood was doing as the powers that be put my sugary wee down to “one of those things” I’ve been taking readings where I can for the last few days (from what I’ve read, fasting should be 3-5 mmol and 1 hour post meal <7 mmol so by that reasoning are my readings bad and should I speak to someone? It is stressing me out big time) day 1 - Fasting: 4.8 mmol 1 hour 25 after breakfast: 4.1 mmol 2 hours after lunch: 6.1 mmol Pre dinner: 5.1 mmol 1 hour 30 after dinner: 7.1 mmol (bolognese with fresh egg pasta and garlic bread) Day 2 - Fasting: 4.6 mmol 2 hours after breakfast: 4.2 mmol 2 hours after dinner: 6.8 mmol (my baby shower, so white sandwiches and cakes as had an afternoon tea) Day 3 - Fasting: 1 hour after breakfast: 7.3 mmol (shredded wheat. Had 3+ sugar in my wee with the midwife following this) Before dinner: 5.5 mmol 2 hours after dinner: 7.1 mmol (4 slices of pizza which I’ve since learned is a big no-no. My 1 hour post pizza reading was 6.4) Day 4 - Fasting: 3.1 mmol 1.5 hours after breakfast: 6.1 mmol Before lunch: 3.2 mmol 1 hour after lunch: 4.6 mmol 1 hour after dinner: 7.7 mmol (huge portion of veggie chilli with brown rice) Day 5 - Fasting: 5.5 mmol 2 hours after breakfast: 5.1 mmol 1 hour after lunch: 7.5 mmol 1 hour after dinner: 7.2 mmol Are these readings something to be concerned about? If I didn’t have GD would my blood sugars have returned to normal even after things like cakes and white pasta? I’m concerned about the over 7 mmol readings after some of my dinners as I tried hard to make sure they were GD-friendly meals . My 5.5 mmol fasting reading this morning threw me off too ☹️ thanks in advance for input x [/QUOTE]
