Glucose reading 3h post dinner

My reading 3h post dinner is higher than 2h post dinner. Does it even make sense? #gdm #advicepls

Yup.. means your diet is still not well balanced. Did you go for a 30mins walk/stroll after your meals? Trust me, it helps..

GD Detected at Thomson

Hi, I just did my OGTT test at TMC last Sat and the result came back I’ve got GD. My gynae told me that the Diabetic Nurse of TMC will call me and explain about what’s next. I haven’t receive a call from them as of today Monday yet. Being a first time mom, I’m a bit ganjeong. Wonder if any of you have similar experience with TMC before? Wonder when should I expect to hear from them? #Gdm #TMC #firsttimemom

We met our doctor in TMC and she explained it to us face to face. My wife had GD, most likely due to the huge intake of rice in her first trimester. Our doctor advised us to get the blood glucose test machine and followed her instruction of testing (i.e. 3 times a day in the first 2 weeks). We have to submit the result to her and she will advise us on the frequency of testing. Fortunately my wife does not need to adjust her diet much except to control the rice intake. We tested about 3 times a week subsequently all the way till she gave birth. No complications and all is good.

75g of glucose water equals to how much of rice?

I'm going for my glucose test soon. I want to know 75g of detrox glucose is equivalent to how much cooked white rice. Anybody knows? I have been keeping track of my blood sugar levels pre and after meal, everything looks good but im just worried i might fail due to the amount of sugar i have to take in during the test. #FTM #firsttimemom #glucosetest #gdm

The amount of sugar in the drink wont affect the test. It only shows how your body breaks down the sugar thats why we have to take 3 test. Before the drink, 1 hr after the drink, 2hrs after the drink. All will have different range. For example as below pic

Gestational diabetes

I failed my first hour ogtt by 0.3mmol and was told im diagnosed with GD. But is it true that mummies confirm will pre diabetes or type 2 diabetes in 3-6yrs? Im in my early 30s i cant imagine myself getting diabetes at such a young age. 😔 this pregnancy stressing me out #advicepls #firstmom #gdm #diabetes #firsttimemom

no it’s not true that it’s confirmed. GD goes away for some mummies after pregnancy, but there are some who develop type 2 as well. it depends on how well you manage it. i’m a healthcare worker.
