Jo, I think glycosuria is pretty common in pregnancy. Your BSL is of course excellent. Perhaps you could do some reading about glycosuria in pregnancy. I don't think there is much evidence to support routine GTT or screening. Nicole.

I have decided for various reasons not to have the routine GTT during my pregnancy, and now, at 33 weeks, I have had a small trace of glucose in my urine the last few weeks. Tonight I checked at work at I had a definite plus, not trace, of glucose. I did a BSL at the same time, and it was only 4.2. My question is, was my glucose higher before and my body just got rid of it for me, or is my body just good at getting rid of it via the urine instead of insulin? Or should I stop worrying? OR should I go ahead and do the GTT like my workmates insist I should have done in the first place? Thanks! Otherwise, pregnancy is wonderful apart from the sore hips trying to sleep :) Jo (RM) -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
