Hey all,
I've done some googling, but I can't come up with any specific answers to my questions. Around 28 weeks I took the 1 hour GD test, and I failed by 0.1... (dumb!!) so I was sent to take the 2 hour around 30 weeks, which I also failed by 0.1!! (SO DUMB!!). So two days ago I finally got my hospital appointment, and I've got one of those lovely finger prick machines to test my blood just before eating and 2 hours after eating. So far the levels are all around the same, but I don't know what that means (if they're low, high, crazy, etc!). I am due to see the lady again on Wednesday, but frankly I'm impatient and curious.
If you've had it, what were your numbers?
Currently directly before eating and 2 hours after eating my numbers are always between 4.0 and 6.2
I haven't seen the dietician yet, and I'm not on a specific diet, but I am eating relatively healthy, and I'm certainly not scoffing bags of candy ;)
If you could help, I would love it! Its no big deal, I would just love to know if I'm bad, or good, or fine, or horrendous!
Thanks in advance <3

Sounds like your glucose levels are pretty normal. I've not had GD but I'm a nurse and those numbers are within the normal range.
Did you see the hospital again today? Hope it was good news.
