Well i had my gstational diabetes blood tests today... i was good and ate nothing since last night! But... i got up this morning not really thinking about it and drank the cup of tea my OH had make me. Luckily i don't take sugar (if that helps?)... but while there the lady asked if i had had a sneaky drink of coffee this morning as they have to be sure... i was not lying about that as i DIDN'T have any coffee... just tea!

So yeah i kinda fibbed and said i didn't drink anything... so they did the tests and whatnot. Now i'm worried they will know i drank the tea and make me go back

Oh no darling, what have they said? Is there a plan of action?

Please try not to worry too much as they reason they test for these things is so they can help treat it.

Plan of action is get myself upto the hospital so they can teach me how to test my own blood sugars and whatnot x

I am sure all will be fine hun, I know it is not ideal but gestational diabetes is so common (which is why they test for it)

I hope they are able to give you lots of info but also put your mind at rest

[Amyrose]

Ignore them hun you have nothing to worry about once you look after yourself. X

[Em91]

Did you tell them about the tea? Surely it could have impacted on the results?

 

[Leah04x]

So sorry to hear this! I'm sure everything will be fine xx

 

[Gayle30]

Oh no. But don't worry - I am sure they test for this so they can put things in place to control gestational diabetes. I have my test on 11th July too. xxx

I'm sure it'll all be ok. My sister in law had gestational diabetes and she had a normal sized baby who is now 5 and really healthy. xx
