Kristi - GD Test results?
- Thread starter FiddleFit
- Start date
I heard from the doctor's office on Monday. My numbers were supposed to be in the range of 60-130, however my sugar level was 151. Needless to say on my day off on Friday I have to go in for the 3 hour test. I'm not surprised since I went through this with DS. In fact, I've already dug out my nutrition plan the nutritionist gave me last time to follow. I plan to start following it after I make a trip to the grocery store on Saturday morning.
How about you? Did your results come back negative?

Oh geez, Kristi, I'm sorry to hear that 
What is the nutrition plan like for GD?
In Canada we must measure sugar levels differently, because mine was a "6", which is considered fine. I didn't expect any problems, since I didn't have any with DD#1, and diabetes doesn't run in our family.
All the best,
Sandra

Sorry to hear that Kristi. Good luck on your next test.
Sandra, fortunately the nutrition plan is not that hard to follow. It basically consists of eating 3 meals and 3 snacks a day with a carb and protein at every meal and snack. Also at almost every meal is a milk and fruit serving. The hardest part really is the finger pricking 3 times a day to check my glucose levels. Hopefully by tomorrow I have my lab results back so I will know if I need to go through this process all over again with this pregnancy.
The best part about having the 3 hour test was this time around I had another mother doing it with me. We talked the whole time and the time flew by.

Great News!
Last night a nurse from my ObGyn's office called me. Only 1 of the 4 tests was a little high. The nurse said they normally will only make someone do the special diet and glucose monitoring if 2 come back high. It looks like I passed this one, even though the doctor may still periodically test me. I'm so relieved!
Thanks everyone for your well wishes and prayers! You all are the best.
