That was the way I was during my first 4 pregnancies. I would always test "positive" for GD and would have to check my blood sugar levels 4 times a day but they were never high...except the one time I ate chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and washed them down with a big glass of chocolate milk...lol. Then, with my 5th pregnancy, I didn't even make it to the testing at 24 weeks. I started having problems with high blood sugar levels at 10-12 weeks. I ended having to be on glyburide once a day. With my 6th pregnancy, my GD kicked in a little earlier and I ended up having to be on glyburide twice a day. And then, with my 7th, it kicked in around 7-8 weeks and I was on the glyburide twice a day but still having trouble keeping it lower. They tried to up it to 3 a day but that caused my blood sugar levels to get scary low so they lowered the dosage back to 2. And, unfortunately, after I had my 7th, the GD didn't go away. I just found out that I'm expecting #8 and am so worried because I'm only 5 weeks and my fasting levels are already in the 120's. One hour after eating is not good either.
Sorry for the long post...I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're probably like me, borderline right now and not having to worry about it right now but know that it can change and get worse with each pregnancy.
