Glucose in urine

Had my 34 week growth scan on Monday and was told baby is measuring within normal range for gestational age they reckon 5lb 14oz. At my 32 week growth scan 2 weeks prior they said baby was measuring big, accelerated growth. Today I've seen my Midwife and she's found glucose in my urine so would like me to take another GTT home test to rule out GD. Previously tested for GD and it was negative. Anyone else experienced similar?

I've just had to do the GD home test over 5 days at over 37 weeks for having glucose in my urine. If you can make sure they give you enough of the things to prick your finger with, mine didn't and it was such stress trying to get it prescribed from gp, and then finding a pharmacy that actually stocked the right thing...... turned out I was prescribed the wrong lancets for the device 🤦‍♀️ After handing back the results there was only a few readings that were borderline getting high so they didn't feel the need to investigate further. Hope that you have similar results :)

@Becky mine is done by a company called Digostics they post it to you and once you've gone the test it sends the data electronically to the Midwives to check the result.

Oh that sounds decent, I got given a device but only so many lancets that didn't last very long at all!

Got diagnosed with gd about 4 weeks go, it is manageable and my baby isn’t getting too big which is the main thing.
