Im 35 weeks pregnant and while at the GP yesterday he tested my blood sugar (although I do not have gestational diabetes) and the result was 8.0 mmol. I was expecting it to be a little high as in 30 minutes before the appointment I had eaten a bag of lollies (I know that's not what I should be eating) but I was a bit worried about that result. I rang the hospital and spoke to a midwife who said to get another blood sugar level tested in the next few days and see what that is, which I'm going to do but the more I read I'm starting to get worried.
I had the 2 hour glucose tolerance test at 28 weeks and those results were fine, I don't know the results exactly but the obstetrician said they were absolutely normal and not even close to being diabetic. I'm going back to the GP tomorrow but wondering what anyone who has experience with GD thinks? Does this sound like I might have gestational diabetes?
Really worried thanks for any advice
