what is the average number for it?
plz answer i am so worry,
thank you all
Why did you have to do the test so early? Usually it is done at around 28 weeks
If you have gestational diabetes you are at risk for developing diabetes later in life
If you do have gestational diabetes it is better to find out and try to treat with diet and exercise or you may even have to go on insulin. It is not that bad. I have to give myself 3 needles a day in my belly, but i knw that it is better for me to keep my sugars under control. It is safer for the babe, unconrtolled blood sugar can lead to lots of compliations for the babe
