Question about GD

For those of you diagnosed with GD, did you have any signs before you were diagnosed? I failed my 1-hour glucose test, and was told that I will most likely fail my 3-hour test as well. I am on 60mg of Prednisone daily and it has caused me to become insulin resistant. I get really dizzy and have a rapid heartrate after eating and then my body just feels like it is going to crash, I get so tired. Also I have a question about numbers after fasting. I was monitored in the hospital a few nights ago after some spotting, I hadn't eaten in about 4 hours and had my finger pricked after my urine came back with a high amount of sugar. Is 127 high after not eating for 4 hours?

    I don't have any symptoms and didn't before I was diagnosed. I think 127 is probably high for not eating in the past 4 hours. Good luck! If you do get the GD diagnosis this board has a lot of great suggestions.

    127 does seem a little high for not eating in 4 hours.

    I did notice increased thirst before I was diagnosed, which is a symptom of diabetes.

     127 sounds high after fasting for 4 hours. It means your body is probably making it's own sugar. Make sure you have health snacks throughout the day to keep your body from making sugar on it's own.

    Thank you ladies, Im sure my doctor will explain it more tomorrow, but I didn't want to go into my appointment being clueless.

    For those of us who test 2 hours after a meal, I think that most of us have a target of 60-119 at 2 hours, though I think a few people are only supposed to be under 130 at 2 hours.

    For those who test at 1 hour, some of them with stricter doctors want them to be under 120 at 1 hour.

    Still, at 4 hours, I would expect my number to be well under 100, probably upper 80s/lower 90s. So yeah, it sounds fairly high to me.
