Pregnant and Diabetic I am not diabetic but when I was pregnant with my first child I took the 1 hour glucose test and it came back that I failed it by 4 points. I was beside myself. After I got the phone call I was on the couch until my husband got home from work. Looking back I know what caused it. I was drinking lots of capri sun drinks and getting into the sweets a little too much. I had to go on a week long diet and then go back for the 3 hour glucose test. So not fun at all. I can't even tell you how many times they stuck me with that needle. That one came back fine and I had a healthy baby girl. I am currently pregnant with my second child and am concerned about the glucose test. I think I will be fine for a couple of reasons. One is that I have lost almost 60 pounds since my daughter was born and I only gained 11 pounds with her. Second I am trying really hard to watch what I eat and not load up on the sugar. My dr. says high protein so that is what I am trying to do. |
