Failed 3hour Glucose test ?

I have GD, and was diagnosed last week. I took the class on Tuesday, and its actually not too bad. Count your carbs, avoid sugars and prick your finger 4 times a day. I have noticed that a little bit of stress throws my numbers off, so remain calm, and don't push yourself too hard. I do struggle with the diet because I love junk... But I went shopping after the class and bought sugar free jam, fit and active bread... And when I want something sweet, I have jam and toast. It hits the spot and is GD diet approved!

@sophia , hopefully I can get it under control . This is my second day checking my blood sugar. You wouldn’t believe it , but water has always been my favorite drink lol never started drinking sodas and juice until I got pregnant ? it’s like one thing I crave &’ now water just don’t taste the same to me ? but I take my class Tuesday morning , so hopefully I will soon get the hang of it! ??

I know your pain.

It’s not as bad as it seems honestly. Just follow what your doctor says and drink A LOT of water. As weird as it sounds, you get used to it. You don’t have to start insulin if you can keep everything under control, so relax. After your class you’ll have a whole different perspective about GD and see it as a positive thing maybe.

@mimi , thanks love , I hope everything turns out great for you as well . I don’t know my baby’s position just yet , I will be 30 weeks Tuesday and that’s when I’ll go to the doctor so hopefully they will let me know then. I do know that my babygirl is measuring a week ahead . I’m praying I don’t have a c section either .

I'm in the same boat, love. I hope everything works out for you. I'm almost 33 weeks and have another ultrasound on Monday. Seems like since I was diagnosed baby is getting really big I hope I don't have a c section. Do you know your baby's position? I'm breech and I'm hoping she will turn in time.

@thager , that’s good to hear that everything is on track! Thank you , I’ll be praying for you as well ??❤️☺️

@motherhen Good luck girl! ??❤️

@jin yeah that would be a good idea to do as well.

@tonya , I check mine in the morning when I wake up then 2hours after I eat breakfast, 2hours after lunch , 2hours after dinner .

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 14 weeks (checked early due to PCOS) I check my sugar 4x a day, take glyburide and eat according to there carb counts. I have lost 15lbs and baby’s growth is on track. I start twice a week non stress test on Monday (31 weeks) Praying for you ladies!!

O my I take my 3 hour Monday will keep you updated. Hoping for the best but either way we can get thru it just a few more weeks to go.

I would have had to do this if I hadn't got the specific diabetes nurse help. She said only one of my results was high the rest were within range and it happened the last time I had to take the 3 hour. I just have to watch my diet and eat every 2 to 3 hours I thought about getting a meter so when I think it is low I can check it.

Me to ... was told to check sugar 2 hrs after I eat .when where you told to check your sugar

Yes , what em said ?

Krys- gestational diabetes means you’re high risk. You need one ultrasound each month (or more)to check on the growth.

Aw man ? Thank you! Good luck to you too!

Aw, I failed mine too ? today is the first day I'm trying out what foods are working for me and poking my finger. Good luck!

What do you need another ultrasound for?
