Well, crud...

I failed my 3 hour glucose screen.  I have gestational diabetes.  If you fail 2 or more of the blood draws, you fail.  I failed 2 of them.

Fasting needs to be below 95, mine was 75.
1 Hour needs to be below 180, mine was 225.  (45 over)
2 Hour needs to be below 155, mine was 196.  (41 over)
1 Hour needs to be below 140, mine was 100.

I failed 2 of them.  In fact, after I left, my sugar plummeted.  I was driving home and I started shaking and sweating.  Apparently it was on a major downhill drop for that last draw.  I had to stop and eat something sugary to feel better.  Granted, I hadn't eaten all morning, but that's not good.  I have a couple of appointments coming up now to start a plan on getting everything under control.  I'm so glad I was testing myself early and I told my Dr. it was high.  I'm glad I'm proactive.

Have a great day!
