Message: <blockquote data-quote="DonutEnter" data-source="post: 2226774" data-attributes="member: 520218">I have been following the guidelines they give to pregnant women in my Trust with GD. They say to test after 1 hour and needs to be <7 mmol, pre meals 4-5 mmol and if you’re testing after 2 hours also, then <6.4 mmol. ive done a mixture of testing times but usually after 1 hour. So with porridge, I tested after 30 mins and had 8.2. At 1 hour 7 , and I once tested after 90 mins and it was 5.7 mmol. Which tells me either my first wave of insulin isn’t great, and my BG is going really high really quickly? Or sugar is dumped into my wee at really low levels.I test my urine out of curiosity alongside the blood sampling, because of all the high glucose readings in my wee at appointments. I was trying to see if there was any correlation.I know in pregnancy the renal efficiency is reduced , so maybe my kidneys are just dumping tons more sugar than they should into my wee.. I just feel anxious as undiagnosed GD can cause issues , and I wanted to get to the bottom of if it really is just “one of those things” for me in this pregnancy.</blockquote>
