I've just had the results of my screening blood test back and have been referred for an OGTT. The number was 9.4 which I know is high, and I'm pretty freaked out. But the blood was taken less than an hour after I'd eaten a bowl of Special K and a banana. From googling it seems that this level an hour after eating would suggest glucose intolerance rather than GD, although of course I have no idea what the two hour result would have been. But can anyone with experience of monitoring blood sugar tell me if this result, less than an hour after eating what I now realise is a pretty sugary breakfast, dooms me to GD? I was 26+6 on the day of the blood test.
