My sugar was low on my Glucose Tolerance Test

Has anyone else had a low result? My doctor said that they consider normal to be 70-120 and that mine was 67. They told me I need to eat more frequently and pay attention to any hypoglycemic symptoms. Im not super concerned about it as they say its just baby boy requiring more than I am giving him-so I just get to eat a little more :) I was more concerned with not passing it as that is what people usually worry about!

    Better than having to take the 3-hour test:)

    Mine was low with DS and it really made no difference. I did eat a snack like every waking hour from 28 weeks on though , or I got dizzy and sick. The plus side, I lost 11 pounds that pregnancy and DS was a 10 pounder. So maybe it was a good thing. :)

    I had this with DS. (Well I still/always have hypoglycemia issues) After I took the 3 hour test my number was so low I should have passed out. Because of this and being told to eat more I gained more weight than I should have. I met with a dietician last week. It was somewhat helpful. Basically its eating the GD diet and spreading out your cards. I always tried to keep something in my purse like a candy bar or something with peanut butter in case I needed the quick sugar.
