  Depends on the norms the doc is using, but 35 is quite low.

  I think the cutoff is most commonly around 100. I passed with an 86, so you are definitely WAY low.

  It depends one which kind of glucose test they did.  If you had to fast, it will be different than if you did not.  1 hour diff than 2, etc.:

  Weird. I wonder why it was so low? I actually was kind of worried about it b/c I've had such a sweets craving this pregnancy!

  That seems low. Maybe my doctor does a different one? I got a 104 and she called me saying I "passed with flying colors".

  Maybe she meant 135? 35 seems ridiculously low.

  I'm going to say that it was 135, if you had that much glucose and an hour later it was at 35 you would definitely be in the hospital for a hypoglycemic episode.  If you didn't have the shakes, irritability, etc, it was more likely 135.  I get hypoglycemic to the point of feeling like I'm going to pass out when my blood sugar hits 55 or below.

  Okay, sounds like she probably forgot the 1. I thought 35 sounded like a weird number...I'm pretty sure it wasn't anywhere near that for my last pregnancy. Thanks for the help, ladies!
