I just did this last week and got my 3 hour results today. I was a 149 with the 1 hour test and passed with such low and great numbers on my 3 hour. Try not to stress it too much I was so worried too but amazed at how much lower my count was on the 3 hour.
Wish u the best of luck. My 3 hr test comes back tomorrow. I'm a ftm, was 68kg b4 and 165. At 28w I'm 88kgs and well over what the doc says I should be. The type two and gestational run in the family so I am 99% certain I've got it. Don't stress too much about the needles, its just another routine in ur day. Have u actually ever seen the finger prick machine to test urself? Its not fun but also nothing to worry about. How good are you with your diet and exercise? Be prepared to need to do some walking, swimming or anything else ur ob will approve that you like pretty much everyday. Diet will be the hardest thing if you've never been very strict with your foods. Check every thing in ur pantry fridge and when u go shopping for added sugar, glucose, anything that ends in syrup or says fruit juice. Also anything that ends in -ose. These are alll hidden sugars. Dont fret. U are allowed a little, but better to use that up on the stuff u are craving rather than ur breakfast cereal!!! The insulin is usually self injected. Ur ob and or midwife will show you how to do it. I think thigh ir tummy is still the preferred injection spots. Good luck again.
I was diagnosed at 14 weeks.. it was realy tough on me I felt guilty for.being over weight.. when I went to the orientation there was a few other girls vegeterian ans still had it. I had to poke myself three time a day and took medication. In a way it waa good because I was really careful and I only gained 7lbs you just have to have some.snacks in your purse because sometimes your sugar drops and you need to eat something. When Iwent to an oorientation this time around they recomended that you work out or walk or do some physical activity that way your blood
My one hour test was 176 and I passed the 3 hour with flying colors. Still a good idea to limit sweets though.
