Any Mamas out there to keep me company? Doing my 3 hour glucose test and extremely bored lol
Girl why?! @kamangano lol I could barely sit through my tattoo when I got it on my finger 😨😂 I definitely will not be doing my finger tips lol! If anything I'll do my arm. Do I have to find a vein or just stick it in my arm?
That tester you can test in either finger tips, Palm, or arm. I test my finger tips.
It took me a good week before I got my number where I wanted them I eat breakfast lunch and dinner with snacks in-between
Thank you! @kamangano do they give you something to keep track of your sugar or is that something we have to figure out on our own?
Awe it's not as bad as it seems trust me I was so upset when I failed. But with a really crazy good diet and watching your sugar intake, everything now is whole wheat and walking should help. If you need anyone to talk to let me know .... I feel your pain!!
No 😫 They have me my results this morning. A specialist will be calling me sometime before Tuesday @kamangano
They have you speak with a nutritionist. But my husband is a crazy gym nut and he put me on a diet but the nutritionist was happy with it. She just had me add a few things I was missing. I've been able to control my numbers with diet but if you can't they will put you on insulin.
Do they give you like a specific diet to follow or do they just tell you what to cut back on? @kamangano
@kamangano, girl I didn't even see this, sorry. But no not really, mainly fruit
Ouch have you been craving a lot of sweet things or drink a lot of soda ?
I asked for water a few minutes after the drink but they said not to drink or eat anything @kamangano not even gum 😫
I failed my by 15 points and then failed my three hour by 4 points .... Diet sucks for me I'm such a picky eater but last growth scan tech said if she didn't know I had gestational diabetes she would have never known .... Drink water while taking the test today and try and walk around
Thank you! And I'm honestly not sure @kamangano all they told me was that I had failed it and needed to take this one
It's only a little poke that's why I picked my finger tips they say it's easier to do that bc it takes a little longer for the blood to get out of your arm vs fingers
