Glucose tolerance test
I am 19 weeks pregnant and did a gtt test.
fasting BS - 82.
Two hours after drinking 75 Gm of glucose powder ppbs - 170 which is higher than range of 140
I am on bed rest since 6 weeks which will continue for one more week.
What do I do to bring these sugars down as I can't exercise :(.
Also I have read that greater than 180 ppbs is considered diebetes and 140-180 ppbs means impaired fasting glucose. So do I have gestational diebetes or not?
