My OB office called yesterday and apparently I have failed the 1-hour Glucose Tolerance test :(
They like to see levels at 140 or less and mine came back at 170. I even fasted for it so that we wouldn't have this issue!! I'm quite disappointed in myself right now and very scared for the next round of testing. I have to go back in sometime this week to do the 3-hour glucose test and if I fail that one as well they will consider me High Risk again and categorize me as having Gestational Diabetes.
I know there is nothing I can do about it now, and really this is just something I have to deal with but I'm still very stressed and sad about the whole ordeal. I've been put on a semi-strict diet before I take the test again to see if that helps and then they will re-evaluate the situation after they receive my next round of results.
Prayers are appreciated :)
I became a wife on Aug. 22 2008. A mother on Sept. 4 2009. And now I am struggling with the realities of both and trying to balance my newfound life in WA as a stay-at-home mom (most of the time)and trying not to drive myself crazy missing my friends and family in AZ. Please follow along on our amusing and crazy ride called "Our Life"!
