Hi Becci

I had baked beans on toast, a chocolate freddo frog, some yoghurt and a good dozen peach slices(more than 3 peache slices on my weet bix used to put my levels up) and when I tested I got 6.8..
My levels when i checked in hospitals were all ok but i wasn't strict on the exact 2 hours after eating as sometimes i was feeding bub or otherwise unable to test right on 2 hours. From memory anything under 8.0 in the GTT is considered ok?? can anyone confirm if that is right??

Seems that motherhood is putting less stress on me than the idea of GD remaining.. Having said that I also worry because I was on the verge of pre-eclampsia when I went into labour according to my blood results and when I arrived at hospital my BP was up however went down hence why they let me labour myself with no interference. They repeated my blood work during my hospital stay and OB said was all sorting itself out but worries me all the same. I'm not a huge sweet tooth so really my diet has not changed and the food I ate with GD is what I'd normally eat so I'm just really worried that my 2 hr GTT with the greatly increased sugar content compared to my normal diet is not going to go well..

I only had one really high level during GD which was a 9.4 in the very beginning so I'm wondering if I should repeat that meal and see if it does the same to me again. Was a sandwich with Low GI bread but go figure..
