question
Hello Doctor, in OGTT reports, my wife has reading of 68 (fasting), 185 after ome hour and 175 after two hours. While the fasting report is within range, the one hour reading is 5 points higher to limit and 2 hour report is around 20 point higher. Does this indicate a high risk GDM pregnancy( as termed by our doctor). We understand this is a pre-diabetic stage and trying to follow strict diet and routing. Post the OGTt report we started charting and Glucose is always less than 100 on our own daily sugar charting. Need an expert advise om this.wife has completed 25 weeks.

Thanks Much. As we see it shall be a worry if the routine minitoring of glucose measures beyond normal limits, which is not the case. Under this circumstamces why this cannl be termed as GDM? Just wondering if glucose tolerance fails does that means its *pre-diabetic * or *diabetic* case.

Hi if the level is within range or reduced then nothing to worry, She has to eat small meals. I had gestational diabetes and i got scared and ate very less as i was afraid but that resulted in no weight gain for the baby. Then my doctor asked me to be on normal diet and just no sugar and sweet. So let her eat regular homemade food. Don't worry.
