Glucose screen was elevated. I go for the full blown three hour test tomorrow. Please offer up your prayers to the sugar and insulin Gods that I won't have to deal with diabetes on top of everything else.
Update: Got my number from the screening. My venous plasma value was 169; according to a couple of websites I surfed, they order the three hour test if you are between 140-179, and take a slightly different testing route if you are over 180. The nurse put a scare in me by saying that "normal" is in the 50-60 range, which doesn't seem right given the cut off for testing is double that, but whatever. But at least I wasn't over 180. I found a good chart explaining the testing protocol on the web, and I am at the ready to fill in my numbers when I talk to the nurse about my 3 hour results on Monday. Continuing to keep fingers crossed.
OY!
Posted by: Keri on March 12, 2003 04:31 PMMy lovely daughter, do not fret, you can have an elevated fasting sugar and a high 1 hour and still not have gestational diabetes, that is why they do the 3 hour for confirmation. You also probably had that kidney infection cooking when you had the test and that could cause an elevation cuz your body isn't clearing the sugar fast enough. Praying for you anyway cuz I always do! Love you, Momma
