Isnt hypoglycemia when your sugars ar below like 70? That rarely happens for me and it usually after I do some major exercise like hiking in the woods when I go deer hunting. Since I have been pregnant during hunting season for the last two years, I always take food and water with me if I start to feel ill. I dont take any meds for GD.
Sounds like hypoglycemia, I didn't take the test but noted my sugars on my own like you are. However mine were really high at first and then really low so it was suggested I did have it and I skipped the test. Now I am learning to manage my diabetes with insulin and feel like I am doing a lot better
You don't have to tell me what I didn't read. Its between u and ur baby and I'm not here to tell u what u should or shouldn't do. Its ur choice. If u don't think u have it than don't take it simple.
I have only gained 6 lbs so far. So I know I am doing good at 30 weeks. I usually dont pig out unless I crave that need. I just when I am hungry and eat sensibly.
I feel ya!
With my 2nd baby I failed my glucose test by .5 so then had to control it by diet and test blood sooo annoying baby was 8.2 and a week and a half early..anyways I was frustrated this time around because my dr didn't even send me for the test because she said since u had it last time u are considered gestational again which p*ssed me off because every pregnancy is different..I don't think I have it..I entertained them and did the nutritional class but after that I have done nothing..I have tested my blood a couple of times (now 37.5 weeks) and all has been fine..I live in Canada so I don't have to worry about paying anything out of my pocket for me its the fact she didn't even test me to diagnose me and I am a fit person have only gained 22 lbs...also just as long as ur pairing ur sugars with a protein and like u said just keeping an eye on ur sugar levels here and there then I think it's fine..we know our bodies..
I was the same way, I had it done with my boys but my girls I said no and now this pregnancy..unless things are different I will say no again. Dr. Are just doing what their bosses & big pharma says. You know your blood sugar and what to do.
Obviously you didnt read where I test my blood sugar. It is normal. My baby is just fine. The test wont tell anyone a thing because its an unheathly amount of sugar any normal human being. I have the money, I just prefer to spend it for more practical things.
I didn't have it with my son and I was smaller than. 8 yes later I have gain weigh and I'm 28 weeks I took my glucose Monday and I failed. I have to go back to take a 3hour one. I know you may not have the money but if u could fine away to pay just to make sure u and baby are u OK. I would.
