Another doctor's appointment yesterday...and my results were in from the 3 hour glucose tolerance test. Ummm...the numbers were not good at all. As a matter a fact, the numbers from all 4 blood draws were bad. My fasting glucose was high at 102, and then 1 hour later my blood sugar was 212. I don't recall the exact numbers of the other 2, but they were high for that time period as well.
I had the nurse look at the glucose levels from when I was pregnant with Ellie. Two of the four were out of range. All the doctor had me do then was to check my blood sugar and monitor my diet.
So...for now...I am to check my blood sugar 4 times a day and record the information. I have another appointment next Monday. If things don't look any better, then the next step is insulin :(
The nurse checked the heartbeat and measured the fundal height. Everything appears to be fine.
