So, on the 3rd, I failed my 1 hour glucose test. My doctor called and gave me my results and told me to fast for the next one. I fasted for 13 hours before going in. And On the 10th, I failed my 3 hour fasting glucose test. 3/4 numbers were elevated.

I got this news around 4pm this afternoon.

It’s confusing and heartbreaking because my first pregnancy I didn’t have GD. I know every pregnancy is different but I was the typical “ it won’t happen to me”.

However... I’m 29 weeks pregnant and have lost 20 lbs and not gained an ounce. I throw up pretty much everything I eat. So now, what I eat is going to be even more limiting.

Now, starting at my next OB visit, I will be going to weekly ultrasounds, doing non-stress tests, appointments, and nutritionist visits. I will have to text my blood sugar 4-7 times a day....

I’m trying to read online but my head is in a fog and I don’t know anyone that has had GD. How have you all dealt with changes? What are some things you eat?

Any information will help. Thank you in advance! 💕
