Thank you! I found out I don't have to have it anyway as I'm not at any risk! :) X
Nope I didn’t have it. My midwife said there’s no standardised level across the UK of what constitutes GD. She said I could have a reading here that would be fine and then have the same reading in a different trust area that would classify me as having GD.
Hi Stella, I didn’t have it as I use a CGM off and on to track my Blood glucose, which was really useful in pregnancy and my midwife thought it was far more accurate than the glucose test. You could also use a finger prick machine periodically to see how your blood sugar is regulating :) NB: I’m not diabetic, I’m just a health/wellbeing nut and track everything 😂 Few useful links: https://wellnessmama.com/motherhood/pregnancy-glucose-test/ If you do find you have GD: https://www.mamanatural.com/gestational-diabetes/
