Hi all

I'm new to the forums - hope you don't mind me crashing

I had GD diagnosed about week 20 in my last pregnancy, I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance and so I was tested early.

I am now 33 weeks but GD has yet to present. I still however am under strict instructions to monitor diet and exercise and I am doing the 4 finger tests a day to keep an eye on things.

My levels are slowly creeping up though, which is getting a little worrying
