Glucose tolerance test results
Hi all,
Iv been told I have gestational diabetes and that my fasting number was fine at around 4 (can't remember exact) but my result after 2 hours was 10.6. Does anybody know if this is a really high result or not 'too bad'? I'm actually so gutted as everything was going to smoothly.

Thank you xx good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
Hey! My sister is a type 1 (which i appreciate is not the same illness). 10 is very high for a non-diabetic, but my sister has had levels of 40+ or just 'high' on the machine because it was too high to read. Just to give you an idea of scale :)
That's scary! What on earth would she need to eat to get those levels! Thank you ❤️

I'm in the same boat. So basically I've been measuring the glucose levels since 3 months ago since I was diagnosed, 3 times per day. On fasting it's supposed to be under 5.3 mmol/l and after food it's supposed to be under 7.9 if I am not mistaken. Don't know exactly how it works with the actual diagnostic test
