I failed the 3hr and was informed I have gestational diabetes :( I'm so disappointed in this bad news.
I have a follow up appointment with a specialist next week.

    @2BeForgotten thanks for the encouraging words. I pray the diabetes goes away and never returns.

    And, yes, the babies are bigger as a result. I have to get an ultrasound every visit bc of it.

    I failed my glucose test..and I already went to a dietatian for diabetic etc etc... all they gonna do was... tell u how much carbohydrates u can take each meal...and now I'm checking my blood glucose 3 times a week.. I mean its not that bad..don't be afraid.... and if ur glucose still get high 120 up once u start checking it every week..they might put u to insulin...what they told me bout insulin was...all babies came out healthy..and the good news too is..that u don't have a diabetes after pregnancy... but u should be check 6weeks after u had ur baby..... what to eat? Eat more meat and green vegetables.. :) @mistyLou

    @intri thanks for the heads up. I feel much better.
    @kara_lamek it should be around 29 weeks.

    I failed the 1 hr 2 & 3 hr glucose test...you just have to be very careful with what you eat. You need to be in a strict diet...
    They gave me pills to take everyday & i have to check my sugar 4 times a day...& they do me ultrasounds every week to check on baby..
  • MistyLouMistyLou
    @Jenniiee that's a lot of checks for one day. Scary.

  • MistyLouMistyLou

    I found out 3 days ago that I failed and have gestational diabetes. I met with the dietician yesterday.. I have to check my blood sugar levels 4 times a day, keep a log of it, go to a new high risk doctor, and stay on a slightly strict diet. It doesn't seem like its going to be too bad, just more planning of what to eat and how much. After a week or so it shouldn't be too tedious.
