Blood sugar 4.4 at 28 weeks bloods

[PeckaRolloverAgain]

Is this fine does anyone know?

FWIW blood taken at 9.30 and I hadnt had breakfast yet

Well within the normal range!

Looks fine to me.

Think it is fine Pecka. Had my GTT test this week and the first blood was 5. The normal range is between 4 and 7 mmol

GREAT

Gestational diabetes was something that has been worrying me - phew! Thanks

Yes this is fine dh is diabetic and has always been told that it should be between 4 and 8 so don't stress.

Both our dd's like to let daddy to their blood sugars and dd1 is always around the 3 to 3.5 mark but the gp says not to worry so 4.4 is fine.

Frankawenstein - is it still fine even though it was practically a fasting sample? I had only had a few sips of blackcurrant juice in the 12 hours run up to the test?

4.4 after fasting is perfect, DO NOT WORRY!

Great thanks

Just my iron levels to worry about now LOL

you had juice before test! Mine was 5 when i had starved from midnight and test was 9ish. Had water and that was all i was allowed before.

what's your iron?!

Awen - it was just routine 28 week blood test not GTT - I hadnt been told not to eat and drink just so happens I only had juice!

Iron 9.5

oh Thought it was gtt test. Nah blood sugar levels sound fine to me.

spatone is calling you then....

Yes, onto the next question!!!

Am taking 2xspatone a day, cut right down on tea and upped iron rich foods - thats all I can do yeah?

sorry if i offended. Was jealous you were allowed more that water. Hated the gtt, just presumed that was what you had.

Ah well, preg hormones abound

big tick, gold star .

Drink orange juice with your meals - vitamin c helps the absorption of iron

Awen - I hadnt taken any offence - just read back down to see if I seemed off!

Big pregnant kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!

I'm diabetic and would be very chuffed with a fasting blood sugar of 4.4! Mine vary between 1.3 to 23!!! Pregnancy certainly doesn't agree with diabetes.

Plus non-diabetic or non-GD women can have lower blood sugars - it's the high ones you need to worry about. A low BS is not an indication of GD.
