Hi all,
New to this forum and hoping I can find some ladies who are in my position!
Had a GTT test and didn't think for one minute I would fail it. Midwife phoned a few hours after the test to say that I had been referred to the diabetic clinic.
Fasting bloods were 5.6 cut off 5.1
2 hour test bloods were 8.0 cut off 7.8
I started straight onto a low GI diet (my dad is an insulin dependant type 2 so have a good idea about what I can and can't eat). I'm at the diabetic clinic on Wednesday, now sure what to expect?
I have a phobia of blood tests but not needles - I'm fine with injections! - so not sure how I am going to react to the blood monitoring :-(
I am now 29 +4 weeks, I had a growth scan at 28 +3 for other medical reasons and I've already had a letter through for a growth scan at 31 +1.
Just looking for a bit if support and an idea of what happens now. Thanks for reading.
