I think the midwives and doctors at the practice where I'm a patient think I'm a bit "interesting" - something one never wants to be in a medical situation. I'm 14.5 weeks pregnant, and I've never seen doctors so frequently in my life! Most recently, they were interested that when they did a one-hour glucose test on me, the result came back that I had quite low blood sugar - my number was somewhere in the 50's. Yes, I did drink the whole bottle of stuff. For those of you who don't know, this test is looking to see if people have high blood sugar - an indication of gestational diabetes. Normal is somewhere around 100, and high is over 140. So a number in the 50's really is quite low.
Anyhow, the midwife who noticed this in the results asked me if I had been feeling OK when they took my blood. I was ready to go eat something at the time, but not feeling bad. I'd never had my blood sugar tested before, but how I was feeling seemed totally normal for me. I generally need to eat (pregnant or not) every 3 hours or so. So I'm thinking maybe I somehow have hypoglycemia that I've been managing on my own since I was a teenager?
Has anyone else had this happen? And if so, what was the explanation?
