Misdiagnosed Gestational Diabetes?
Does anyone else feel like they have been misdiagnosed with gestational diabetes? I'm 21 weeks pregnant and I had my 1 hour glucose test and failed by 205? Yes, horribly. I was expecting the worst, saw a dietician, and begun pricking myself 4 times a day. My obgyn didn't have me complete the 3 hour glucose test since I failed, bad with the 1 hour. Anyway, I am following the dietician diet and my sugars are always great. However, when I eat normal foods, my sugar is always great too. I seriously can eat a big mac meal, medium fry, plus sweet tea and have a 110-115 sugar in 1 hour! Most meals and carby ones my sugar is always less then 115! I speak to my obgyn about it and she said I'm obese, yes, I'm 260lbs - not good. I also have a family history of diabetes and my A1C was 5.7 with a average 3 month glucose reading of 117 which isn't good. Anyone else have similar experiences?
