The reason people are advised to test at two hours is that that's the point at which your blood sugar should be back to normal. you're hypersensitive to your blood sugar testing because you've had the worry of GD - I understand that. But you would get a better picture if you tested at two hours.You should also bear in mind that blood sugar can remain erratic up to approximately 13 weeks after delivery.One thing that can cause higher than usual blood sugar readings is stress. It's possible that your worry is pushing your blood sugar higher than it would be, and that could create a vicious circle. I would repeat my advice in a previous thread to put it out of your mind until there actually is a diagnosed problem. Concentrate on eating well for your baby. As long as you rceive the normal follow up tests as every woman should after GD, then that should put your mind at rest. If your GD did show a propensity to tending towards prediabetes, then regular tests should pick that up.</blockquote>
