[quote=Anonymous]I failed my 3 hr GTT with #s in the 200s. I was given this test early at 15 weeks. I've been tracking my sugars at home for the last two weeks and I'm so confused. I haven't seen a spike yet. Fasting is between 84-95 Last night I had a slice of birthday cake and tested after an hour and I was 130. My one hr threshold has to be under 140. I spoke to the gestational diabetes specialist at my ob office and she said no rice bananas, citrus fruits. And I asked if I could just track my normal meals before I cut things out and see what happens she said she doesn't think it's a good idea but sure. Yesterday's snack was banana, 2 clementines and 1/4 cup nuts - 116 after an hour Dinner a few days ago - 1/2 cup white rice, 1/4 cup dal, salmon and spinach and I was at 112 after an hour Before the cake last night we had Mexican take out- shared amongst friends. I had a steak taco, a few bites of nachos and a slice of cheese quesadilla - I was at 116 after an hour On one hand I'm really happy I'm not seeing a ton of spikes but also annoyed my ob office put in my chart that I have pre gestational diabetes because they caught it so early but my a1c is 5.1 and I was tested during fertility treatments over the last 3 years and I don't have type 2. Now I'm questioning if my placenta is truly having issues regulating? It can't hurt baby to keep tracked so I'm definitely fine doing that. But has anyone started off with good #s and no real diet change and then it got progressively worse? [/quote]
