I've bleated on about this loads and loads but I can't get past it so here I am again.
V briefly, diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 38 weeks last time. I wasn't convinced and they never directly told me that was the case. It's bugged me ever since and I'm pg again and already being pestered about it, lots of appts with diabetic clinic coming up and it will affect the birth and feeding etc as it did before. Long story, crap hospital.
I've just found the list I made of my readings at that time, would someone who knows about these things please tell me what they think of them.
Waking
Min: 3.5
Max: 4.4
2 hours after lunch
Min: 3.8
Max: 7.8 (that one instance of 7.8 was after massive Christmas Day lunch which I think makes a difference. There was no other reading near that, average was 5.6)
2 hours after dinner
Min: 4.4
Max: 6.8
Before bed:
Min: 3.6
Max: 5.4
Does that lot point to GD? If someone said yes it does, then I'd shut up. But it doesn't fit in with what I was told or what I've read since.
Thank you :)
