Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] high GTT
result?
Hi
Janet,
GTT
results aren't just the last measure. You are considered GDM if your
fasting BSL is >5.5mmoll or your 2 hour reading is >8mmoll.
Generally 9.8 would be managed on diet, exercise, education etc. If the
BSL's remain well controlled then there is no reason to exclude her from a
birth centre. The medical establishment will want to induce at term ,
but if a GDM woman who is well controlled with a normal sized baby on
board could try and get a little more time.

Hi all,
can someone clue me in on
what's considered a high result to get from the GTT? I have a woman wanting
to swap to hb from a BC where her GTT result is considered dangerously high
and she's been told she's highrisk. It was 9.8.
Thanks!
