Doesn't sound too great. But, I know it's
a sugar test.... What exactly does this
mean for you?

If I fail the long test it means I have
gestational diabetes.
How it affects the mother:
increased risk of high blood pressure
increased risk of gd in future
pregnancies
increased risk of developing type 2
diabetes later in life
how it affects the baby:
makes the baby larger
possible overweight after birth
risk of diabetes later in life
low blood calcium levels at birth
jaundice
treatment:
controlled diet
exercise
monitor glucose levels
monitor fetal growth
regular medical checkups
possible insulin

Did you accidently eat some sugar or
carbs or anything? My doc told me no
sugar, low carbs, for all day before the
appointment. I hope everything turns out
ok!

They didn't tell me to be careful about
what I ate the day before, but here's what
I had:
hi-protein cereal with milk for breakfast
lo-fat balogne and lo-fat cheese on white
for lunch
mexican for supper.
The nurse asked me what I ate, and didn't
say that any of that could have made a
difference... I sure hope it did though!

Lol I should have used better words, I
didnt mean the day before the appointment,
I meant the day of the appointment, all
day before you go in. If you ate
something with sugar, or anything with
lots of carbs then thats probably why it
came back high. My doc told me I should
eat an egg for breakfast before I came in
otherwise if it was something with carbs
or sugar it would come back wrong. I
think the only thing he said I could drink
before was water also... But im dont
remember, it was awhile ago.

Erin as cautious as you are about tru and
her health i'm sure you are fine you
probably did just eat something high in
sugar, but good luck anyway.
