I just done my monthly antenatal checkup at kk (week 12+1day), that morning i ate 2 slices of butter kaya spread thinly + a glass of 2 taufa scoop of milo mixed amway protein (645am)

the urine tested 2+ for the glucose level (815am) and BSP reading is 7.9 (9am something), and i just felt it was a bad bad results.

and after nurse consulted with a doctor, i got arranged for a early air gula two day after in week 12+3day, second one will be on week 28th

my hb level tested 13, which is raised from 11.2 and i was happy with that, eventually got bad news from the glucose test...


actually my mum is having mild HBP under mild medication and no sign of diabetes, my dad too is the same...but my mother's side parents both got diabetes history.

i think i got some of the symptoms indicates GDM, which the thirst i cant controlled, i constantly got so hungry and my weight (53.7kg) drop 0.3kg from previous 14th feb reading.

even though not really got diagnose with GDM yet, but already emotion down liao

my wife cut down on sugar intake like fruits, sweet drinks and white rice, white bread... my family take brown rice, only kids take white rice...

vege is fine

try to replace white rice and white bread with other options

she even stopped coffee entirely, buy a glucose monitor to measure before and after meal...

can try eating frequently with smaller portions...

my wife kena tahan at ward for 2 days during her 1st pregnancy when her glucose level shot up hahaha

good luck!

everything go smooth now? finger-cross for your preggy wife!

i only got a day and half to improve my glucose level, i seldom take fruit but i prefer guava, and orange...
thanks for the advices and sharing

Retest again. You don't want to born a baby underweight. Sometimes during this period it mess up your sugar level.
My wife was told to cut down sugar level end up baby underweight.

i got the glucose meter and test my glucose after dinner (that day i ate a small laksa) 2hours it shown 4.4, a bit weird , i will keep monitoring my glucose level...


wait.... baby underweight is not nice and need lot of medical care and attention, i thought Ultrasound scans can help to tell the baby growth? or it was just inaccurate?

how's your baby now? hope he or she is healthier day by day

She is 4years old now but abit small size.
Ultrasound is not so accurate.
Tips for you give breast milk and powder milk together.
You got balance baby.

Powder baby is super fat
Breast milk super skinner

Best is to give them both.

Try not to eat nonsense. Eat better good quality food. Not asam laksa

That's why better go for morning checkup.

My wife used to go for morning checkup (light meal and no drinks) and was fine all along. Then one weekend, gynae was fully booked for morning sessions and so we went for afternoon checkup. That was when she was diagnosed diabetic (actually most pregnant women suffer temporary mild diabetic at some point of their pregnancy). Take the blood sugar test and she failed. We were advised to monitor food input and measure blood sugar after every meals. After 2 week or so, nah, just gave up and eat normally. The thing is it just took a bit longer for blood sugar to went down compared to their test requirement of 2 hours. We faked the blood sugar monitoring list to appease the gynae.

i measured 4.6 this morning with empty stomach, didint manage to get the after meal 2H reading cause i intentionally left the meter at home...even empty stomach 4.6 can't tell anything if no follow up glucose reading right?

are you by any chance overweight?

my bmi is 22.2, and i probably just gained less than 1kg till my 13weeks pregnancy...
so i wonder why
maybe my insulin secretion just a mess with my baby's present
