[QUOTE="DonutEnter, post: 2222357, member: 520218"] Thank you for the reply. My worry is that many women with GD are told to aim for < 5 mmol on fasting and < 7 mmol one hour after first bite of meal, which my figures don’t represent ☹️ Struggled to be below 7 just an hour after food. I also worry that the 2 hour post meal readings that are in the 6’s, were in the 9, 10s (?!) at 1 hour which would be a spike and could affect the baby? (Hence the sugar in urine which starts being dumped at around 10 mmol as someone above kindly mentioned) Do non diabetics who eat sugary or high carb foods have similar levels/spikes? I test my urine periodically for infection, protein (and sugar) but freaked out this morning when I saw a high level of ketones on the stick. Had a few before but not quite as many. I didn’t drink a lot of water before bed , I am also getting up 2-3 times to pee and I did limit carbs more than normal yesterday to get my BG where I thought it ought to be. Would all those things cause high ketones and will this damage baby? I so wish I could just relax and enjoy these last 2 weeks of pregnancy. I’ve put the glucose meter away as I think the stress was doing more harm than good. And in the spirit of shrove Tuesday I just had a big fat pancake... [/QUOTE]
