just been told that I have spectacularly failed the OGTT with a result of 11. horrific. not even sure it's worth bothering to do the proper test with a result that high.
anyway, it took all day to get this far, and I only have a couple of days next week before going on holiday to get the test done, see the dietician and get set up before we leave. needless to say it was absolutely impossible to get through to the hospital; the midwives have been on answerphone on all 4 lines all day, and I am really panicking that I can't get it done on time, and will have another 10 days with rampaging blood sugars whilst I am away.
is there anything I can do in advance to help? should I be trying to buy a monitor and some needles from boots, or following a GD plan? is there anything that anyone would recommend? I cut out all sweets, biscuits etc when I had a growth scan last Saturday, but I am panicking about not knowing what even boring things like brown rice might be doing.
and I am REALLY REALLY panicking that i have hurt the baby by being an uncontrolled fat mess and that it won't go away after birth. urgh! thank you!
