I failed my 2hr OGTT test today. High on all 3 blood draws: by 2 mg/dL on the fasting, and 9 mg/dL on both the 1 and 2 hr readings. But that's all it takes and I will be testing my blood glucose 4 times a day, and may need meds as well. I knew I had risk factors, as my dad has diabetes, and I am overweight. But I am still taken aback a bit and worried about LO.
Hello, I am in the same boat. Both grandparents have diabetes and I was overweight by about 40lbs. when I got pregnant. I wish you the best during your pregnancy. Hopefully we can control everything through diet.
Take care.
BFP #1 2/10/10: No HB on 4/29/10 at 15 wk, D&C 4/30/10, Baby measured 11-12 wks. First Pregnancy and first loss.
BFP #2 7/25/10: Blake Daniel arrived 3/25/11
BFP #3 3/9/12: Our Turkey Baby! Due Date: 11/19/12
Good luck. It's not as hard as it may seem right now. I've been able to control mine through just diet and I only have 3 weeks left. My LO is measuring perfectly normal, so there is no need to worry about your LO.
