That was after 2 hr blood test. No, my doc didn't send me for any other test after that, just asked me to follow the GDM diet and fill up a table for 2 consecutive days to monitor my glucose level before and after each meal.

Just wonder did u guys drink or eat sweet stuff before the urine test when go for routine prenatal check up? I always restrained myself from drinking and eating sweet stuff, hence always -ve for blood sugar urine test.

I just eat as i normally do. so if breakfast is nutella and bread, i'll just eat. or drink teh as normal too
Actually me too... I always avoid sweet food and drinks, and stick on healthy food. But I quite like milo kosong and horlicks kosong and 3-in-1 drinks like spirullina cereal low sugar type, but i limit to only 1 per day. Even carbo food like rice/yellow noodle I'm also taking not much, always choose mee hoon/kue tiaw instead.
Really have no idea how come i failed the test so badly...
Is it because my body is not used to high sugar food, that's why it can't process well when suddenly infused with such high sugar content?

Yes, I do like biscuit and eat lots of fruits. But biscuit I normally eat those healthier types like multigrain, jacob's weetameal, digestive biscuit. Cakes I also eat sparingly. I think I need to cut down on fruits though
How abt u?
Yes, I did check with my gynae. He asked me to eat as per normal and measure my glucose level after each meal. If it is within normal range, there is no need to change my diet.
In fact I have been careful as my dad who is in his 60s has mild diabetes.
Hope ur level will be alright asap. For me the very next day he sent me for a diabetes blood test n I pass that. That day n the next I gotta prick myself 7 times to monitor n note down exactly what I ate. Luckily still not too bad. Now is to monitor 3 day over tis week n still 7 times per day. He didn't give me the diet plan just give me a list which states the GI level of some food.
This is to prevent fluctuation of glucose which will affect baby and whatever we eat now affects the baby eating behaviors in future. The doc said it's not the level that matters It's the fluctuations. Anyway sugar n processed food r man-made not naturalgosh...this friday my turn...really scare fail the test
How come u still need to follow the diet....any reason besides future health of u & bb as it will it make an impact if din follow?
Good luck!
My urine test all pass. It's the glucose test which the nurse will give a big bottle of concentrated orange syrup water. Think I avoid too much previously n now cannot escape. I even ask the nurse if I can dont drink the whole bottle. fYI my weight gain is good n I not fat. My doc also shocked.
Hee according to my diet monitor. Mee hoon kueh n diary pdt r my killer. Ya doc suspect I got glucose intolerant which I am aware cos I always don't feel good eating too sweet esp on empty stomach. He said we r lucky to find out early rather than continue to poison ourselvesActually me too... I always avoid sweet food and drinks, and stick on healthy food.

But how some do not need to take the test? Isn't it better to make it mandatory since it good for u and bb.
Well guess it all boil down to our hormone right as my blood & urine sugar test always pass (i took health screening yearly). I heard that chances we will get diabetes in the future if we did not pass the test so those will need to retake it again after birth or yrs later. I heard from my nurse that must finish the whole bottle...but can we drink lot of water after that coz i dunthink i will feel good...imagine hv to wait 2 hours with an empty stomach! Did u pass the test and how did u score?
What type of diary pdt u refering? Can you take natural sweetner for glucose intolerant?

I literally cnt move my leg! Gotta scream for help. Dh gotta help me bend my foot slowly then feel better...
Aiyo, so poor thing... What the cause of leg cramp? Is it due to water retention? incorrect sleep position?
Welcome Jing Han! When is EDD?
The nurse said can only drink half a glass of water if I really need. Dairy Pdt like cheese, cream etc. Natural sweetener like honey ? Honey also cannot take much

actually milo and horlicks are all VERY VERY high in sugar. And releases energy into your bloodstream very quickly. U need to look at eating those low GI foods which will release sugar slowly so that your body has enough time to release enough insulin to process the sugar.

How abt u?
Same as u i like biscuits & will choose those healthier type...actually biscuit is not a healthy snack, however i still eat daily
Fruits is good but has natural high sugar content...pick those less sweet type. I dun really like fruits but i still eat after dinner as it help in passing motion.hi & welcome Jing Han
Huh...only half glass water
Then before we go for blood test, can drink 1 to 2 glass of water? Is there any urine test involved for this GD? Natural sweetener like Stevia & Xylitol? Not sure is maltitol a good alternative as i often saw this been used in certain products suitable for diabetes. Ya honey though natural is still high in sugar so hv to control the portion.

hmm.. like this abit worried lei.. i also take a lot of sweet stuff... but BabyGN experience.. seems like there is also slight possibility?
going to see my doc this weekend. will see what he says.
anyone has the tummy area skin turning mild red after bathing? wonder was the skin too thin n sensitive or what.. since this week i realised the pinkish tone all over the tummy area after showering.
could it be my stretchmark lotion not strong enough.. previously was using the palmer stretchmark lotion. but i felt too thick and sticky. plus dont really like cocoa butter smell.
after finished that bottle, now i started using the palmer strechmark milk spray. this has a slight node of lavender smell and also lighter.. so i quite like it.
but wondering is this not strong enough.. or something inside is causing sensitive skin.
it only happens after bath though..
anyone has this as well?
