13 weeks - my sugar level came back as 7.4 - worried!

[AOMum14]

Hey everyone,

This is my third pregnancy and never had Gestational diabetes or anything like that. I have had horrendous morning (all day) sickness which is finally under control. In the last week I have been eating so much crap, and so much sugar as I have been unable to eat lots.

Before the neausea was under control, I had my booking appointment where I just got the results from blood test which said my blood sugar levels was 7.4

I am worried and no one that I have called has reassured me. I feel I will lose this baby and I don't know what to do and now scared to eat.

Any reassurence or positive stories welcome! I have lost a baby in third trimester so trying to keep myself calm but obviously pregnancy after loss is tough!

fasted Or not?
if fasted yes it’s high and needs investigating/treated.
non fasted it’s okay, it will need a repeat fasted.
it’s not the end of the world if it’s GD - but it feels it at times.
honestly the diabetes team are superstars!

Depends when you last ate before the test. If you ate recently it’s probably a spike. Ask for a fasting one. If you’re worried you can get self testing kits from Amazon and they’re easy to use. 7.8 is the threshold for gestational or type 2 diabetes.

Just a blood test at my booking appointment, so no fasting but booked in to do a fasting check in a few weeks time. I can't remember what I ate or when on that day but was when I was struggling with nausea so wasn't in the last week where I went crazy with sugar! Thank you so much for your response!
