GD test tomorrow- nervous

I had this test last year when I was pregnant. Basically when you go in they take some blood, they then give you a sugary drink and get you to wait 2 hours and then do your bloods again.

If you test comes back to say you have GD then the diet is basically high protein, low carb (don't eliminate carbs completely). I had to follow this from about 28 weeks pregnant, happy for you to message if you need anymore info or if you test positive for it then happy to give you meal ideas, inspo and for you to ask any questions.

I was with the GD team at Southmead.

Oh and the daily blood sugar machine is a finger prick machine. It's really nothing to worry about, I hate needles and was dreading it but it was fine. X

yes please I’ll pm after my results. Defo in need of ideas. Did you see a dietitian? And I’m with Southmead so probably the same team. Xx

No I didn't see a dietician, but the diabetic midwives gave some advice about dieting and things to avoid etc. There is also a really good Facebook page as well and website you can get lots of info from so do message once you've got your results and i can send over. X
