Gestational diabetes sucks

GASuzukiGASuzuki member
in Pregnant after 35
So I got my 1-hour glucose results back and sure enough I have GD again!!! What was I thinking, hoping for better results than the last time! I have ALL the risk factors!

Sigh... Sorry to vent. It just really bummed me out.

    I have no advice or words of wisdom, since I have not been in your shoes, but I wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear you have GD again - that really sucks!

    I had it with this last pregnancy and the one before. I will say I handled it better this last time and my weight gain too better than I did 7 yrs before. I actually think it was a saving grace since I was already overweight. It kept me in check. Of course both times I was only diet controlled. Hang in there.

    I'm sorry that you have to deal with this again. I just took my glucose test on Friday and I'll admit I'm afraid to get the results, since I've been using sugar as a mood booster.

    so you don't even get to have a shot at the 3 hour...you just automatically are GD with the one hour?  Was it because your numbers came back really badly or something?  I failed the one hour twice before but was sent for a 3 hour each time and passed those without any issues.

    Are they even going to do the 3 hour test? I always fail the short test but have passed the long test with flying colors. Same as ceniding. Granted I have to test again, but it saved me from having to poke myself 6 times a day.

    @Regan1976 No 3-hour test. I failed it so bad this time around that my result, coupled with my past history of having it when I was pregnant with my DD, means GD for me again.

    Oh, that stinks. I hope you don't have to stick yourself as often as they were telling me. All the people I know who are diabetic were like, "What! That's nuts." I hope it just means giving up a cookie or two and not a whole revamp of your fridge.

    @Regan1976 Yeah, it's pretty sucky. But the glucometers have gotten better and I only had to stick myself four times a day last time around. (Don't know this time because I need to attend a workshop. Ha.) In the meantime, it's a revamp of everything I like to eat, but it's not too bad. The good news is this pregnancy has me completely disgusted by ice cream and chocolate. Weird since I love that stuff under normal circumstances!

    Make sure you pack all your favorite treats in your hospital bag with you so after you have this baby you can celebrate with some chocolate etc!!

    Do you know if you're having a boy? during my two boy pregnancies, sweets did me in, especially ice cream.

    @Ceefome‌ Yes, I'm having a boy! Lol! When I was pregnant with my daughter, I really wanted sweets. Now, not so much.
