    I would definitely ask for it to be reviewed. it may be that they won't ask you to do the gtt again as you've been taking the readings.

    Yep, ask for it to be reviewed. Your morning reading may be more affected from your dinner too - I used to test ok at dinner if I had say something like pizza that I shouldn't have and my night reading ws fine but the morning one affected.

    Pasta etc is a slow releasing carbohydrate so your levels rise progressively. If you were to check say 2 then 4 hours after eating, you would probably find your levels higher at the 4 hours!

    But from the mother of a type 1 diabetic and researcher into diabetes in general, I am pretty confident you don't have GD!!!

    My morning was 3.2, and todays after breakfast (coffe w/ sugar and milk, and porridge with some brown sugar) was 4.4. Really happy that my levels seem fine. My body definitely reflects the levels, I feel fine, energetic, and right now incredibley hungry LOL! This morning I was a bit icky, as I usually am, but a coffee soon fixed that lol.
    Ok... I won't update my readings anymore LOL. I'll just keep taking them, experiment with different foods and just chat to the dietician on Tuesday.
