I failed my OGTT test by a small margin too. Basically just monitor your diet, cut down on carbs and sugary stuffs. After delivery, I had to do OGTT test again, and now all cleared. It was really the placenta that is against us... Once out after delivery, shld b all back to normal. For now, just watch what you eat for baby.. Impt is both u & baby to be healthy :) Jiayou!!

can i check did u monitor diet after delivery? ive seen posts of mum who still cannot clear GD post partum. we need to eat more to breastfeed. consume less red dates water during confinement will help? i ordered confinement from tian wei (before knowing i had GD) so hopefully not much sugar in food which i cant control.

There is no need to request to do it again and there is nothing to worry about. I had gestational diabetes as well during my pregnancy. Watch your diet. Avoid sweet stuff. Drink plenty of fluids. Go for walks or exercise if you can(if you have already been doing it, please continue or do it at its bare minimum).

No need to be depressed. I had GD for both my pregnancies and am now okay. It is very common. Just try to avoid refined sugar. Eat low GI food and exercise. Eat small frequent meals with more fiber and protein instead of big meals. This helps to slow down weight gain and minimize heartburn later in pregnancy.

Cut down sugar n salt. Moderation
