Thats true Kelly, there are so many differing opinions for 'good' levels. I know that the diagnoses in NZ is different to Aus, I think it is a BSL after 2 hours >8 here and >9 in NZ. Then they can't agree with the limits that the mums are supposed to stick to either - in the GD chatter there are ladies that are told they can't go above 6.5 or they will have to go on insulin, I was allowed up to 7.5 and they weren't too concerned if I went a bit over every once in a while.

Hello Thanks for that
Im not to worried about being endued early i guess ill cross that bridge when i come to it but i do tend to have big babies and i was given two choices have a induction on the Wednesday or a c section on the Friday i had a c section on my first and never again but my induction went very well so it was a good experience in the end.

as far as i remember our bloods have to be 5 or below before eating and 7 and below an hour after eating that was when i was insulin we dont have to check our blood sugars during the day on less we are on insulin here stupid really as it helps you see what foods put it up

im a little worried it might be a issue when it comes to flying and being on insulin plus moving to another hospital does that go ok

Thanks Niamh

Hi,
I have been told by my Diabetes Educator in Queensland to stay within the range of 3.7 - 6.7. I have also heard that that NZ have different levels than Aus.
