Dear Diane, This decision comes out of the conference held annually in the US on GDM. This last one concluded that diet controlled GDM should not go beyond term due to the risk ( very low, 1% ) of sudden unexplained deaths in utero beyond this time. Apparently you can have a baby with U/S

Hi Jo, As per the Cochrane Data Base, there is no evidence to support glucose testing in pregnancy, and it is not accurate at least 50%-70% of the time. Even if the test was positive, there is noevidence tosupport treating gestational diabetes. Treating gestational diabetics withinsulin reduced

your body is simply telling you that it is having a bit of trouble metabolising the amount of refined sugars it is receiving due to the pregnancy although this is a good indicator of the predisposition to type II diabetes if you continue your present pattern of eating. Cut out as many refined

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. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
