++++4 Glucose in sample..

I’m 30+5 weeks and just had a midwife appointment. I was telling her about some slightly odd symptoms I’ve been having, my hands keep going blue/grey deathly looking (but they aren’t hot or cold) and I get accompanying dizziness & flashing lights. Midwife pondered this & said it was a bit worrying. My blood pressure was low as usual & I remain quite badly anaemic despite being on max dose iron tablets for weeks.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

She then tested my wee & there was ++++ glucose in it .. the midwife (not my usual one today) looked quite alarmed! She’s referred me for an urgent GD test on Wednesday.. thinks the symptoms might all be linked.

I’m now a bit nervous .. how likely is it I’ll have GD do you think?! It’d be really ironic as this pregnancy has made me hate anything sweet bar the occasional apple. I’ve not eaten any chocolate, cake, biscuits etc since July!

Also, any tips on handling not eating from 10pm - 11.45am?! (my appointment is at 9.45am).. I’m a HG sufferer, generally OK these days on my medication but I do get sick if I don’t eat regularly Confused

Thank you!
