[QUOTE="STARRYNIGHTS, post: 1724097, member: 470282"] I had the glucose test in pregnancy and passed it. It was the one where you drink a sugary solution and then have to sit there and wait for a few hours before being tested again. They didn't tell me what the level was and I wished I got a print out of the test as it would be interesting to have a look now... but I do know that I had pee test strips at home and used to do them every now and then, out of interest and never showed glucose when the midwife tested, but one day, after I ate a 200 gram box of chocolate orange jellies for lunch as I was too tired to make a meal, I tested with a strip and threw a ++++ glucose reading on the strip- dark brown! :0 That freaked me out, and I didn't binge again like that, but the midwife just said that the kidneys can leak a bit of glucose and protein when pregnant and not to eat silly things like that again. :/ What should I hope to see my HBA1C come down to in another 3 months if eating really healthy? I am not sure what to aim for, as from the reading i have done, 35 is not in a danger zone, but still not ideal? I also read that often while losing weight, your glucose can go UP as can your cholesterol readings, as the blood stream is flooded with the fatty acids that are being metabolised, and often don't settle until your weight has been stable for over 4 weeks? I am currently 63.5 kg and need to get back down to 50 kg again, and I have been told i can start exercising now, so hope the next blood test will be even better, but don't know what number to hope for...
