What should I do? I'm almost 100% positive that I have GD with this pregnancy as well because even not eating for 7 hours and testing my blood sugar I get results between 102-125 every time. My Dr won't listen to me and says we'll test for that around 28 weeks or so, I failed my 1 hour and 3 hour glucose test with my son, I failed the 3 hour right off the bat because I failed the fasting part. I don't know what to do because I'm getting really sick at this point like blurry almost to the point of blacking out, getting pale very fast like brand new white sheet pale, sweating to the point of I feel like I'm on fire, dizziness. What should I do?

@dianne0825, If your current doctor is ignoring your claims and will not listen to you, find a new one because that one clearly doesn't care.

I second, find a new doctor. Usually if you had it with one pregnancy they want to test you earlier the next

@laurenray93 see that's what I though too, with my 1st they tested me at 17 weeks because of my weight gain but not this dr.

Yeah. Find a new doctor for sure. You always may have diabetes in general, if it's that bad. I know once you have it while pregnant your chances go up afterwards too.

@littleonemorning my mother said the same thing. She sent me a list of good food to eat in case I have GD or type 2 diabetes and from that list during this pregnancy I can eat eggs and maybe pork (haven't tried it so I don't know if it makes me throw up like every other meat) so at the moment eggs

Aw. I'm sorry! And I'm sure you know the key is to watch your carb intake too. I want to say when I had GD with my son it was 30g of carbs for the big meals and 15g for any snacks. And not too late in the day either.
Hopefully they get it figured out because if it's too bad you may need insulin :(

@littleonemorning I can't eat bread it makes me throw up but I can eat rice I just don't so I honestly think I have GD and my body can't process this. I tested before I was pregnant and the levels were a little off but no dr would listen to me. My husband is so scared he doesn't want me to go around even the house by myself because at the beginning of this pregnancy he found me blacked out on the kitchen floor. With my son I needed medication but I wasn't this bad with my son so I may need insulin
