OK, so another GD question....

Sorry ladies, but I don't have any experience with it...

I posted below about my sister taking the 1 hour GD test (no fasting) and her levels came back at a 137. Not high enough for the OB to do any further testing, but that still seems AWFULLY high to me.

I'm thinking of recommending to her that she put herself on a diet for women with GD, even if she modifies it slightly since she doesn't necessarily have GD. Obviously we're not medical experts, but I don't see how this could be a harmful suggestion.

Thoughts? I'm worried about her and she's INCREDIBLY stubborn.

    Um if this is the glucose tolerance test 137 is fine!!!!!! Don't worry and if she is pregnant no diets!!!! Just healthy food.

    Her blood sugar normally runs like a 92....it just scares me  Sad she tends to not take care of herself sometimes....thanks, though! I guess I'll keep my mouth shut! Wink

    If the doctors aren't concerned then you should not be either.

    126 is the cutoff for normal blood glucose ranges (for type 2 diabetes tests, at least).  I've worked with diabetic patients who tested in the 300-800 range (nope, not a typo) -- so 137 sounds great to me!

    Like PPs have said, if her doctors aren't worried, I wouldn't be either.  It's sweet of you to be concerned, but I'm sure she's in excellent medical hands.
