Gestational Diabetes?
<< Any pregnant women with Gestational Diabetes? POLL:::: Are you a diabetic and what type? >>
Hi,
I am in my 19th week of my pregnancy and took the Glucose test 2 days before. The report shows the sugar level as 124 mg/dl.
I took that GCT in the evening without fasting after having 50gm of glucose . I gave the blood sample one hour later after having the glucose.
Kindly let me know whether it is too high?
How to control this level if it is too high.
Thanks in Advance

Gestational diabetes: Checking your blood sugar
If you have gestational diabetes, you need to know when your blood sugar level is outside the safe range. Fortunately, you can see what your blood sugar level is anywhere and anytime by using a home blood sugar meter. Within a minute or two, you can know what your blood sugar level is.
Key points
December 26th, 2009 at 4:44 amKnowing your blood sugar level helps you treat low or high blood sugar before it becomes an emergency.
Knowing your blood sugar level also helps you know how exercise and food affect your blood sugar and how much insulin to take (if you take insulin).
Checking your blood sugar helps you feel more in control of your diabetes during your pregnancy.
Four keys to success in monitoring your blood sugar are:
Keep your meter and supplies with you at all times.
Make it a habit to check your blood sugar level. Build it into your routine.
Prick the sides of your fingers, not the tips. The tip of a finger is more sensitive than its sides.
Check your blood sugar meter’s accuracy when you visit your doctor. Compare your results with your doctor’s results.

if what you mean is GTT, then you did it wrongly. it’s done in the morning after an overnight fast and blood samples are taken every 30mins to understand how the body is handling the glucose.
Don’t joke with your antenatal period. if there’s any reason why you think you might have diabetes e.g family history, weight>90kg,previous big baby, etc go to your doctor.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:44 amYou do not have gestational diabetes. But for your peace of mind and to be sure, please see a doctor and ask him for a physical exam and a blood test, and also ask all your questions to him. This is very important to remove any doubt in your mind that you have such a disease. Good luck to you.
