Gestational diabetes - blood sugar readings seem to have levelled at 36 weeks - any experiences?

[devoncreamtea]

Hi, have diagnosis of GD, diet controlled - blood readings have been in range but varying between 3.8 and 6.7 so far, usually 4's and 5's. This week I have had very level readings - barely any variation: 4.5 - 5.5. Is this just a coincidence do you think, or has something changed? Did this happen to anyone else?

May be worth calling the midwife. I'm type 1 and I know diabetics' placentas don't last as long as a non diabetic's and a symptom of this can be reduced insulin requirements. This could show with lower readings, but I'm not sure how much it affects type 2s but may be worth asking?

Thanks zylaB I have consultant tomorrow so will check it out. I had assumed it was a positive thing..!! Didn't occur to me it might indicate an issue - thanks for the advice.
