"borderline" GD

jg1011

I received notice that I am borderline. Failed my fasting and my 3 hour (not by much on either one.) High Risk dr has me seeing nutritionist. Saw her yesterday for my "refresher" since I had GD with my first as well. Feeling frustrated. I was always hungry last time, but especially at lunchtime. And, it's hard to eat as much as I should throughout the day bc I'm teaching. Ugh! I know it will be fine. I did great with this with my son. Just venting I guess!

Sorry you have to deal with this frustration.  Hope everything goes well with the nutritionist!

Being borderline sucks!  I was last time and the good thing was that I didn't have to cut much out because nothing raised my sugar.  You do have to use a lot of those test strips if you start now tho.  I just had my 1 hour.  Praying I don't have to start this early!

I was told at my appt yesterday that my OB wants me to do the 1 hour glucose test the week after next. Since I have PCOS, he thinks I might have GD. I guess we will see.

Good luck with you appt with the nutritionist.

I was borderline as well last time and a teacher. It was really hard to find time to eat but I just ate and taught, my kids got kind of used to it. I also remember running out of different options for lunch. I haven't mentioned the gd test yet to my dr but I have started watching my carbs. Good luck to you!

I was the same with my son. It was bizarre because rarely did I eat anything that raised my blood sugar levels but I still had to test 4 times a day. Not looking forward to it. I'm also curious why the tests were done so early? Mine wasn't until 26-28 weeks last time.

I was adding corrections here until I realized I could edit the post itself... I'm tired.

Thanks all! Test was done early because I had GD the first time. They had me do 3 hour test at 12 weeks. And, I just found out today, I have to retest 25 weeks.....why? I have no idea. Grrr.....

I will get past it. Good news is from what I remember from last time, not much really messed wIth my sugar too much until 32 weeks. Obviously no candy, sugary fruits, etc. But I will at least be able to eat some of my favorites for a while. I hope!

I hope you get to eat your favorite foods too! I should probably check with my doctor to see if I need to test earlier...
