results of 3 hour test
So I just got my results and the nurse said I passed. But when I googled what they should be I only passed one by one point. Now I am worried that it is so close and should I watch what I am eating. Could you please look at my numbers and tell me what you think?
Fasting 81; 1 hour-134; 2hour-144; 3hour 139
Thanks

Re: results of 3 hour test
If you want, you could try to monitor your blood sugar off and on, just to see what they do. Watching what you eat may help, but it may not, because some of the healthiest eaters still have GD.
I guess if you just wanted to try diet, watch your carbs and try to always pair carbs with protein.
2 different cut offs used - Nat'd Diabetes and Carpenter-Coustan
95/180/155/140
or
105/190/165/145
Depends on what your doc uses.
Good luck!
If I were you, I'd be super happy that I passed, but probably be mindful of what I eat for the rest of the pregnancy.
The diabetic diet is really not a bad diet for anyone to follow, in my opinion. I plan to incorporate more of it into my life post-baby, and hopefully keep myself out of the Type 2 diagnosis later. I think that since you were pretty close, you could benefit from keeping the sweet treats to an absolute minimum, and minimal carbs. Eat lots of lean protein, dairy and fresh vegetables as well as modest servings of fresh fruits. It will only be good for you.
But you should be happy! That drink has a heck of a lot of sugar in it, and it's very unrealistic that someone would eat that much in one sitting- unless you get a Cold Stone "Gotta Have It" or something. Enjoy your GD free pregnancy!!!
