I've been diagnosed with GD after a GTT and a 2-hour level of 8.1mmol/L.
The diabetes educator yesterday gave us all the information and told us to call straight away if we had three high BSLs in a row: over 5.5mmol?l fasting, or over 6.7mmol/L 2hrs after meals.

I'm having the opposite problem, and I'm not sure if it's good or worrying?

Aside from yesterday when I had *cough* McDonalds *cough* for lunch and got a 7.4mmol/L (this was after a 3.8mmol/L reading at the appointment 2.5 hours after a breakfast a coffee with milk, and 3 weetbix with milk! so it was sort of an experiment to see what would happen after McDonalds... In all fairness, it was a large fries and a double cheeseburger, so the high reading was less than surprising!)

My readings have been: after dinner was 4.2mmol/L, my fasting this morning was 3.7mmol/L, and 3.9mmol/L after breakfast (again, 3 weetbix with milk, and a coffee with milk and 1 sugar).

I had a Milo at 8pm after I got the 4.2 last night as a treat, it didn't effect my fasting results though (not sure if it should have anyway), and I ate an apple at 9.30am after I got the 3.9, I was feeling a bit woozy, I'm still feeling a little icky and really hungry and I think I will probably eat a 'normal sized' lunch of chicken, cheese, mayo and salad on white bread to see what happens with my levels...

Of course, I'll call them if the reading is in the 3's or 4's again.

But just wondering, do these levels seem a bit low for GD? I'm not on any medication, I only got the diagnosis last Thursday and got the monitor yesterday morning. I haven't made huge changes, in fact that is my usual breakfast minus the sugar I usually have on it that I will probably add back into my breakfast (as sugar or fruit or yoghurt).

I was expecting quite high results, and was prepared to make quite drastic changes if necessary (my diet is quite healthy and well balanced, but certainly not what would be considered low carbs and I do usually have treats like ice cream or hot chips when I feel like them... I am pregnant after all LOL ), so this is a bit of a relief but now of course I'm worrying it seems 'too easy', and something else is wrong to cause such a high ! I've Googled (as you do) and Dr Google says women with GD rarely have blood sugar levels below 5mmol/L after eating, unless they are eating extremely low or no carb meals. Would you classify 3 weet bix and a serve of milk as low carbs...? Maybe my diet is better than I thought?
