Diabetes home test kit/large baby

[Jodielou5972]

Curious and struggling a little!
I am 33 weeks pregnant but baby tummy is measuring 38 weeks, they have plotted me on the 97th centile. Obviously concerned about GD. I had the god awful drink test in the clinic and it came back fine. But they wanted to do more tests so they have given me a diabetes home test kit and I have to prick my finger and test before/after meals.
So far my bloods have all been in the normal range!!
What I'm struggling with is you have to wait 2 hours after food to test or it will be inaccurate. Because I'm this far along I can't eat full portions, so I'm having smaller more frequent meals. But what's happening is I'm having a small meal, setting a timer for 2 hours to test, and before I'm even close to the 2 hours I'm hungry and feel sick. If I eat though it means I have to start the two hours again because the test will come out way too high. I'm not managing to actually get all the tests done during the day!
Will they take this into account? Is there anything I can do different? Do I just test after the 2 hours regardless of any extra food in between? (I tried that once and it came back really high and I didn't want to write it down)

I'm hoping you get an answer to this as I'm a few weeks behind being in exactly the same situation.
I'm 28wks and because of my high BMI they are concerned about GD, so I had my GTT on Monday. All perfect results, couldn't have been more average smack bang in the middle of the good range. However, at todays growth scan the baby is very big (93rd centile) and so the consultant said that if we are still big by my next growth scan in 4 weeks then he wants me to have a home testing diabetes kit.
But I also can't really do full meals. For me its the size of the baby. It's growing faster than the bump itself is so there just isn't room in there for a full meal and eating too much at once actually hurts. So I'm having regular smaller meals. I hadn't even thought about how that might impact sugars testing with a home kit.

Well I just finished my week of testing and handed the results in! Thankfully they are happy with the results and I don't have GD. However, I found it really difficult (probs same reason as you, baby too big), and some of the numbers spiked high enought that I was concerned about them. I had to explain to the doc on the phone that I had eaten a snack in the 2 hour window or drank a sugary drink (for energy).
I tried my best to go the two hours without food, but I was making myself poorly, which sounds dramatic, but I was shaking and felt sick constantly! In the end I just did the best I could and then had to basically explain it all to them.
This should be something they think about regarding pregnant women who are so far along!
Hope you and baby are okay!
