I have my glucose test coming up and im a little scared because diabetes runs in my family. Not really sure what number counts as okay during pregnancy. Can someone share what range your doctor told you?
They aim to keep it well controlled, fasting lower and after food not too high. The GTT test in second trimester checks if you have any sugar issue. Your doctor will give you the exact target range to follow.
My doctor explained they keep fasting and post meal sugar within a tight range during pregnancy, lower than normal limits. She had me do the glucose tolerance test around 24 to 28 weeks. Best to ask your gynac for your specific target numbers.
When I had gestational diabetes my doctor wanted fasting on the lower side and after meals controlled too. The exact targets she set for me personally and I monitored at home. Please follow your own gynac numbers, and the glucose test usually checks this around the middle of pregnancy.
