I had my vision checked and was told to watch out for Glaucoma, The readings were high.. I have had Gestational Diabetes and are frequently thirsty and use the restroom alot. I had a HGBA1C test done and it was normal as well. What should I do now?
There are different types of glaucoma and most have nothing to do with diabetes. Secondary glaucoma with diabetes is usually associated with someone whose diabetes is out of control. With that said, if you’re still concerned that you might have diabetes you should have a glucose tolerance test which is best at catching early diabetes that other tests miss. As far as your eyes go, just make sure you stay on top of having your eyes examined. Sometimes for those at high risk preventative drops have been used. speak with your doctor about your concerns. Take care and good luck.
Steer away from extra sweet intakes and just get your annual follow up with family physician and eye doc.
You don’t necessarily need any medications at this time but, you do require precautions.

Read the book "pH miracle for diabetes". It’s theory is controlling acid to control your diabetes. My friend’s sugar level is very easily controlled with this acid-alkaline diet.

Remember to exercise lots and try to eat right. Even just walking around the neighborhood for 20 mins will drastically reduce blood sugar.

Go for a 3 hour glucose tolerance test and this will give the docotr an idea of how your blood sugar is running. You must keep a check on yourself especailly after having gestational diabetes, this is when you have the likelihood of carrying diabetes on into your later years of adulthood. Watch what you eat, exercise and keep a check on this. I had the gestational diabetes and I am a Diabetic now. my doctor did not follow me after having the baby. You need to be followed carefully after having the baby.
