I doubt the Ribena habit is the reason behind your higher sugar level reading. I had an awesome diet and with all three pregnancies I have failed the first glucose test. Pregnancy one and two I then passed the second tolerance test but with this third pregnancy I failed both and have GD. Let me just say I have managed to keep it under control by just using my diet and am 3 days away from due date with no induction planned and just happily counting down the days. So if you do end up with GD it is very manageable for most people! This next test you need to fast before hand so you either have it or you don't! I have a friend who drank a frozen coke or two per day and never had the diabetes which we all thought was hilarious seeing as I was such a good eater :-)
I have been diagnosed with GD (i am 32+4wks pg, found out at 29wks)......this is bubba no 3 and i didnt have it with the others.....i am borderline but still....
i was checking 4 times a day and last tue had a follow up and its now been decreased to 2 times a day, but this has been my down fall LOL
Most of my levels never reached higher then 6.8.........then 2 days ago i tested (1st time for the day) and it was 7.8....next one was 5.6...
I was just wandering, what meals you have for breakfast, lunch, tea ans snacks etc.....i think this is why some of my levels are over the place lol
