I had my 1 hour glucose test on Friday and failed. I failed miserably!! My level after a 12 hour fast, drinking the sugar soda and having my finger pricked an hour later was 215!!! I have to have the 3 hour test done Thursday morning to determine how the levels are dropping. With an initial level of 215, they are saying that more than likely I had gestational diabetes. Depending on what results I get Thursday will determine whether or not I will have to check my blood sugar levels at home on a regular basis.
So, please keep the baby and I in your prayers. We are hoping that following a strict diet and watching my blood sugar will keep the weight of the baby down. We will have another ultrasound to check the size in a couple weeks.

I have been there and know how anxious you must be feeling. The medical field is more advanced now than when I had my gestational diabetes. But you have the right attitude and being careful is the key. We already have had you and the baby in our prayers, as well as our other daughters and their upcoming babies. Keep us posted.
what was the count before you had to drink the syrup? the 3-hr test is the better one, btw. i really love the needles!
