crums - my post GTT reading was around the same but i managed the GD by diet for a number of weeks before going on insulin. i don't think it's an indicator as such because a glucose drink isn't really representative of what a good diet will do to your sugars, more how your body copes with an overload of glucose - if that makes sense? a non-diabetic person will be able to regulate their BSL even with a big does of glucose but with the GD you can't. insulin comes into play when your body can't stabilise your BSL with even a regular diet. i *think* that's right - but obviously i'm not a professional! good luck on monday

linzy - only 3 weeks to go - how exciting!!
