GOOD NEWS...I do not have Gestational Diabetes!!! They just called.
Baseline blood work: 65-99 is normal range - mine was 70
1 hour blood test: 65-180 is normal range - mine was 78
2 hour blood test: 65-155 is normal range - mine was 88
3 hour blood test: 65-140 is normal range - mine was 67
I asked her if the fact that I ate SUPER healthy the 3 days before my test would throw it off and if having sweet potatoes the night before my 1 hour test would have thrown that test off and she said no. She said sometimes it just takes a person longer to process the food than 1 hour so the 1 hour test just tells them if a person needs the more invasive test. She said in my case my 1 hour # of 181 (135 is the cut off for the 1 hour test) just told them to have it checked in more detail, but from the 3 hour test I passed with flying colors!
That's a big relief for Kraig and I because I didn't want to have to take insulin shots for the next 12 weeks...I didn't want to have a 14 lb baby...I didn't want to have a higher chance of getting Diabetes later in life AND I didn't want baby Colton to be born with low blood sugar because I had GD. So thank you God!!!! Kraig was really sweet...he just kept saying 'whatever the outcome, I'll help you with whatever you need me to do' so that was nice!

I'm so glad your sugars checked out great! That was very sweet of Kraig, but it's much better to be diabetes free!
