Hi all, I was diagnosed with GDM in my 28th week. My fasting OGTT was normal at 4.2 but my reading after 2 hours was 8.0 which was slightly higher than normal range. I went back for check up and needed to do the home test. Today is my first time and my reading was lower than the target. Pre meal target 4.4-5.5 and mine was around 4.1-4.2. But post meal target 5.5-6.6 but mine was around 4.8-4.9. I was confused. Is this normal? I was not feeling hungry after the meal and I had snacks between the meal after post test.

It's too early to say that you do not have GDM base on 2 readings. It will be more accurate if there is a longer trend as you eat a variety of foods which will affect your reading. You may want to keep a food diary as well to help you identify what are the foods that caused your sugar levels to shoot. Don't forget chocolates , sweets, desserts, chips, bubble teas, fruits are also culprit to raising sugar levels.
