Gestational Diabetes Testing

[sel2223]

Just had this testing done yesterday morning and waiting for the results
The midwife who did the finger prick test commented that it was 5.6 and didn't say if that was good or bad but I've since been googling (I know, I know) and convinced myself that this means I'm going to be diagnosed with GD.

Anyone else had that initial fasting result? What happened?

5.6 is probably fine (but hard to say without knowing if you have eaten/fasted etc). Don't worry too much though - I had GD twice - it is better that they catch it

Was 5.6 your result fasting? Or was it after you drank the glucose drink?

5.6 was the initial fasting result from the finger prick test. Before the glucose drink (I haven't had the other results back yet)
