One of the girls on here has mentioned that the morning bsl is more based on hormones than what youve eaten and my endo told me that too so it's not all your fault!! hehe but yeah peaches and bananas were baddies for me, yet i can eat a handfull of strawberries? weird!
The process that I've been through 4 times in the last 4 years has been the glucose tolerance test where you fast overnight, then have blood taken, then drink the sugary drink, an hour later have blood taken, then another hour have more blood taken.. I think it might be a lil different in different states and hospitals but I've had the same tests in both WA and VIC
If your positive they first try to control your sugars with diet, but I have heard most women nowadays end up on insulin. I ended up seeing a Diabetes Educator, Diabetes Dietician and Diabetes Ob/ Endo who actually most of them all told me the same things, it was the educator that put me on insulin tho. But again it might be done differently in different states and hospitals maybe if its a private hospital it might be different again.
And I just noticed your in Perth! I moved over here two years ago and am very homesick! I am missing King Edward Hospital the most as the staff, obs and system was free, fast and very personal. Here the hospital I go to is also free but blood tests and scans aren't! I wait between 2 and 4 hours for one appointment I hate the hospital I'm at at the moment but I only have a few weeks left
sloane: Not sure if it's 38 weeks, i'm hoping it is so I can hold my lil one earlier but will find out Monday what the date is
