Well ladies, i had an early one hour check because in my past pregnancies I've always been borderline and i frequently have sugar traces in my urine. About a week ago, i got a call saying that i had failed my test horribly with a glucose reading of 173. last saturday i went in to do my 3 hour glucose tolerance test, however, 45 minutes into the test i vomited all the glucola i had drank which meant they could no longer perform the test. This made me very angry because i had to fast in order to take the test, only to vomit it back up. Ugh! Anyhow, today i got a call from the nurse midwife stating that they are going to "assume" me to have gestational diabetes. When i asked why, she simply stated that because of my strong family history of it, my recurrent high concentrations of sugar in my urine, and my high bg on my one hour glucose. Although it made sense, i was floored and completely devastated. She referred me to a diabetes nutritionist for nutritional counseling and told me i would get a glucometer and need to check my sugars four hours a day! That if the diet change didn't work I would need to take an oral medication. I am an LPN and fully understand the severity. This is a lifestyle change and although many times it goes away, what if it doesn't when i have the baby? Not to mention i absolutely hate having my finger pricked. I feel like everyone around me is dismissing it thinking things will be fine but i am scared. Especially because both paternal and maternal grandparents struggled with it. I've never watched what i ate and I'm not a "scheduled" person at all. Anyone have gd that can shed some light on the situation and prepare me for the road ahead?
