Have you ever felt frustrated as hell that you have to keep your fasting blood sugar under 5.0mmol/L… only to find out that some people seem to have it waaaay easier with a target of 5.5mmol/L?   Or maybe your numbers were only a tiny bit over on the glucose tolerance test, and you're annoyed that now you've been handed this diagnosis.   Or perhaps you were told to test 2 hours after eating, but are now confused because other people are testing after 1 hour?   It can feel so overwhelming and unfair!   And you might even be wondering, are all these rules just made up??   In this episode, I break down the research that has led to the current guidelines for diagnosis of gestational diabetes, and what the evidence is for the targets to aim for when you're testing at home.   I feel like I went into the research vortex while preparing for this one, so I REALLY hope it helps to give you clarity and a much greater understanding of it all 😅🤯
