Well Crap
My test results came back. I failed every draw....number on the left is what it should be, number on the right is what it was.
Fasting 95 or under - 122
1st hour 180 or under - 253
2nd hour 155 or under - 236
3rd hour 140 or under - 215
fuck.. not a big deal really, I will have to go see an endocrinologist... start a low carb nutrition plan, and who knows whatelse. I guess per Julie at my OBs office the Dr I am going to see is a real bitch but is good at what she does. I already know she will get on me about how fat I am and stuff but thats not a suprise.
Taken from diabetes.org for those who want to know more
"When you have gestational diabetes, your pancreas works overtime to produce insulin, but the insulin does not lower your blood glucose levels. Although insulin does not cross the placenta, glucose and other nutrients do. So extra blood glucose goes through the placenta, giving the baby high blood glucose levels. This causes the baby's pancreas to make extra insulin to get rid of the blood glucose. Since the baby is getting more energy than it needs to grow and develop, the extra energy is stored as fat.
This can lead to macrosomia, or a "fat" baby. Babies with macrosomia face health problems of their own, including damage to their shoulders during birth. Because of the extra insulin made by the baby's pancreas, newborns may have very low blood glucose levels at birth and are also at higher risk for breathing problems. Babies with excess insulin become children who are at risk for obesity and adults who are at risk for type 2 diabetes."
so obviously we have to do something and just hope it goes away. 11 weeks left.
