To: peek and anyone else who might know... Quest about diabetes test.

Ok... Could someone please explain to me the gestational diabetes test?
From my knowledge they dose you up with glucose and test your sugar in a hr right ??
Then if you fail that you have to come back and do it again, but it's in 3hrs.

Ok my OB never had me take the GD test. He has me just testing my blood sugar before I eat. Every time I test it's in normal ranges. But every time I eat I get really tired and my mouth gets dry and I can't drink enough water..... so I was wondering if maybe my blood sugar was going way too high after I eat. What do you all think?

I am a diabetic and I can't say for sure but it sounds as if you are having high blood sugars.

Start keeping track of it either one or two hours after meals, and see what its doing.  Thats really the only way to know for sure.

Why did he never have you take the test?  B/c of your condition?

I guess he thought it would be easier on me to just test everyday or so....
What is your Blood sugar supposed to be after you eat?? I mean what's too high?
