I was just over at 8.2 after my second test and am currently being monitored via diet. This is my second week of monitoring diet and so far, so good. I see the GD clinic on Friday and they will let me know if I have to go on insulin (I doubt it based on my results from monitoring). If you have GD, it's really not that bad as it seems. You just have to be a bit more careful about what you eat & when and fit in some more exercise. It has really kept my weight down over the past two weeks too. I lost 1 kilo in the first week of monitoring my diet.
Geez 8.2 isn't that much over hey - what a bummer!!
I've spoken to the nurse this morning and she said that the GCT isn't that reliable these days and that most Dr.s go for the GTT first up as this is much more accurate.
I ate lunch before going for the test and asked her if that would have effected my results, but she said that it's hard to know, so that's why the fasting is the better test to do.
I will hopefully know by Monday and will keep you all posted.
It's good you said that your weight is OK on the new diet, as I was worried about that too. I've been trying to do a bit of exercise this pregnancy, but as I am always so tired, it's been hit and miss. I do preggie exercise classes on a Sat and I've tried riding my exercise bike a couple of times as my lower pelvic muscles ache when I try and walk around places for exercise.
well my midwife skipped the first GD test and put me on the fasting one. These are my results
Fasting 6.2
1 hour 8
2 hour 8.2
The midwife told me yesterday that yes i have GD and i am too see a dietriction (sp) this week as they will call me monday or tuesday for a appointment.
Its all confusing but i am gettin as much info as i can and will go from there.
