Do i have to take medication if i failed 1hr glucose test?

I did my OGTT, fasting and 2hr blood sugar within range but 1hr i failed by 0.3mmol. I know this is considered GDM, any mummies can share do i have to take medication/insulin or make sure to have a stricter diet? #firstbaby #advicepls #pleasehelp

If you do with KKH, they will get you to buy a blood glucose monitor device for like $60 to track twice a week. Will get dietician to go through your diet too. Then during your next review with gynae, the doctor will see how is the result and decide if you should be on diabetes meds or not. They won’t put you on insulin straight away unless the result is damn bad.
