I had GD at with baby number 1. It was established at the 26 week fasting test.
I was expected to be tested earlier this time but the midwife informs me that, because I was diet controlled last time, they don't need to test earlier and will do it at26 weeks again
I really want to be tested sooner but guess that's not possible. I still have my blood testing equipment from last time (I haven't checked it still works) but was going to monitor my levels and obviously keep an eye on my diet.
I've completely forgotten what I'm meant to do! When should I test my levels? I think my fasting levels were dodgy last time so should I test first thing in the morning? And how long after meals? 2 hours?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
