[QUOTE="azure, post: 865084, member: 39639"] No, they tested me in hospital after the birth. I was in for four days. This was some years ago so things have no doubt changed now, but then they did a certain number of tests over a day and then just said it had gone away. The logic of that made no sense to me because they didn't seem to take into account the fact I hadn't eaten, and there was also a high blood sugar that they simply blamed on me eating half a small bar of chocolate. Yes, I'm on insulin now. After speaking to my GP when I got that high 20 after eating, I went back on the insulin I still had left over from my pregnancy and have stayed on it ever since. My insulin needs were fairly low then, but have increased gradually over the years. Initially, after the birth, I found that my sugars would vary eg they could be 15 just after eating with no insulin, but then come down a bit. My consultant said my body was still making a little insulin of its own at that stage. I now have an insulin pump and have just had another pregnancy and had my son a couple of weeks ago : ) [/QUOTE]
