Wow not over 5.0?? - i had GD with my 1st pregnancy and had both the 1 hr and 2 hr tests and was told anything over 7.5-7.8 was considered GD. Both tests for me came back at 9.2 and 9.4 so yeah, def GD!! - 5.0 seems very low to be diagnosed as GD
I didnt notice those figures, but I agree that seems way too low!! I wonder if they mean the "fasting" level shouldnt be over 5.0? That is really weird as I've never heard of the cut off being that low - I know at the lab that did my test their upper range was 7.8 as the cut-off. Also in pregnancy the levels they say you show aim for when you DO have GD is 4-7 and that's 2 hours after meals (I just had a quick look at the diabetes australia website). hj1981 I wonder if they have mis-interpreted your test? I guess it will be interesting to see what the diabetes educator says at your appointment. You'll be able to know by your readings I guess.
