Long story short - I had to go into the anti natal assessment unit on the weekend after feeling poorly and they found I was Hypoglycaemic (3.8 mmol). There was a staff changeover and all of the patient care just went out the door with the previous staff and I ended up going home with no answers except to contact my community midwife for further testing.

I can't get a midwife appt or get blood tests until next week, so I've bought a blood sugar monitor so I can keep a log of my readings in the meantime ready for my appt.

My kit just arrived and I just used it for the first time, about 30 mins after eating some fruit. My level is 14.1 mmol. I'm not sure though if it is this high as I've tested too soon after eating, I'm trying to get info on the web and the answers I'm getting are that it shouldn't spike like that regardless of whether I've just eaten and that my first phase insulin response isn't good??

I'm going to retest in an hour.

GD did give me low blood sugar. It’s not just the treatment of GD that can cause it.
