If it was me I’d be eating whatever I wanted I can’t lie 🤣 probably not the best advice tho lol🤪
I was told to take my bloods after I gave birth for 24 hours, honestly I think I did about once or twice cuz I kept forgetting. The numbers after pregnancy are higher than during pregnancy so there is more likely going to be more accepting of a number over 7.8 after food as I think it changes to 11 something after birth
I was told to start eating my regular diet and to stop all medication right after.
So my diabetes team wanted me to test for two days after birth just in case. I did try and eat like i had GD for that period. X
I had to take my readings for a day after birth but was allowed to eat whatever I wanted which was a lot of sweet treats and my numbers were fine.
Thanks a lot everyone, really appreciate the responses and sounds like a mixed bag! I believe the cut off for readings goes from 7.8 to 11.1 after birth and 100% will need to be careful with the risk of type 2, just wanted to enjoy a bit of freedom straight after 😂
Never heard of taking readings after birth of course after having GD you have to he careful in general for the rest of ypur life due to to risk of T2D
