I'm not sure but it doesn't seem like your result was that bad. It was only .3 high. Remember, they like to be overly cautious with pregnant women these days.

Yes she said it was slightly raised but I am awfull worried about mon nevertheless!!
It's been 3 weeks since I had my 1st test & now they write to me?!

Angelica

Ok after reading up on a few other sites I have another q-

Did u ladies have any breakfast before ur 1 hr tests??

pepperflake

I test before I eat breakfast (fasting reading) and 2 hours after my largest meal. My MW only recommended testing twice a day. Otherwise, I think you would also test 1 or 2 hours after each of your other meals. They will let you know what they recommend.

im waiting for my perscription for my Meter. But the Dr told me they wanted me to test 4 times a day
as soon as i wake up in the AM
2 hrs after breakfast
2hrs after lunch
And
2hrs after Dinner.

they also asked me what i ate before my test and I fast for both the 2 hour And 3hrs thats why they said my dugar was really high before i even drank the sugar drink. but my mother is has diabetes and had GD with both her pregnancys.

I have GD too. It is realyl daunting at first but if youa re not suffering too badly, it is quite easy to control once you have your meter. I tested after every meal to make sure that what I ate didnt send my sugar levels too high. if it did, i would go for a walk and drink loads of water to bring it back down quickly and make a note of what i ate. nest time i would perhaps have less potatoes/sauce etc. Then before i eat, i would do a test and make sure my bsl is below the recommended level. It was all a matter of trial and error for the first week, but after that i had cracked it!

Even worked out that if my bsl are below a certain level, i can eat a magnum ice cream or a brownie, provided i dont eat for two hours afterwards.

It isnt all bad! Good luck with your testing! If you are grazer/snacker make sure your bsl are low before you eat your main meals. Here in the UK it is below 5.9 - not sure that it is in the states

sweetheart it is nothing to do with diet coke or anything else we drink. I passed the test and all throughout my pregnancy i have been drinking FULL SUGAR coke cos i crave it so badly, so don' blame yourself - it is nothing you have done.

I hope you are okay and the medical team will look after you and monitor you.

Oh no. Your body has had so many hormonal changes and a lot of women get this. Some are more susceptible than others.

Angelica

Thanks girls!
I am still worried about mon's test but trying to keep things in proportion too!
I am hoping & praying that its all ok..
