‘failed’ GD test
I had my GD test last Monday, and found out Wednesday I’d failed. Fasting was fine, but 2hr was 8.3
First few days all my finger pricks were fine, and well within range, sitting closer to lower limits than upper.
But since yesterday breakfast every reading has been high, and I can’t make any sense of it. This morning is the first fasting reading that is high.
I’m basically eating the same food or a variation of.
I’m aware I’m not even a week in, but I feel like it’s knocked all my confidence with pregnancy.
I was anxious/nervous for the health of little one as it was, and this just feels like an uncontrollable/unpredictable whirlwind 🤯
Didn’t feel like there much help/support from the hospital when they diagnosed, literally given a glucose monitor and sent on my way, was there for less than 5 minutes and waiting for a follow up appt for a growth scan and to see a consultant, with no time frame given for it.
Locally the only maternity contact given is triage, and it doesn’t feel like the sort of thing to be contacting them with.

I'd contact triage anyway, it's better to address concerns now before you stress yourself out and feel worse. Fingers-crossed things get better for you x
Hi, sorry you are not getting good support. I think you should contact triage (my understanding is that they should be contacting you if you have 3 or more high readings)
Sorry to hear that you haven’t had the support from them I would definitely contact triage as they can put you in contact with the right people if they cannot help themselves x
