Glucose test results
Good afternoon everyone!
I failed Friday's screening of the 1 hour glucose tolerance test with a blood glucose level of 161. They told me to just eat like normal that day, so I had a chicken patty on two pieces of bread for lunch at 1pm, then drank the glucose at 1:30pm. The two combined is probably what pushed up my level so high.
So today I had to do the three hour fasting glucose test, which I passed without any difficulties. My results were as follows:
Fasting: 89
1 hour: 126
2 hour: 119
3 hour: 72
The three hour is rather low, but I was getting really hungry by that point so I don't think that's unusual :p
So while I should still be conscious of not eating too much sugar or simple carbohydrates (lunch + lots of candy != good idea), I don't have to make special diet modifications for the health of my baby.
Yay!
