Although actually your experience does appear to be the case for most women with gestational diabetes (that they can deal with it with minor dietary modifications, or that their postprandial values are fine even if they fail the OGTT).<br /><br />I agree about the glucose readers. I feel like a better way to check for GD would be to have women take a few readings during the week. That would be a far better indicator of what their blood sugar is like during their normal week.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174370689197345283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953273238318431512.post-81349022405458091922010-12-29T16:06:11.751-05:002010-12-29T16:06:11.751-05:00It's interesting what different experiences we...It's interesting what different experiences we had with GD. I was diagnosed right away with Ari. I was given a GD diet, but if I completely blew it my glucose readings always stayed low. I think I don't react well to the glucose test-- I was close to failing it with Greta too-- but I have no other GD symptoms. Low readings ALWAYS. I could eat cake and cookies and still have low readings.<br /><br />So, maybe we should all just have glucose readers and skip the big old test.theredplayroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316231148587464038noreply@blogger.com
