Well I found out this morning I have GD. I’m 30w, FTM, and failed the 1 hour the first week of July, but was traveling for the summer and just completed the 3 hour on Saturday. The doctor hasn’t called but we have online access to our records here and they were posted about 4am.

After I failed the 1 hour (147), they had me take my blood sugar twice a day every day while I was traveling. In those four weeks I had one high reading and the rest were normal (the high was 159 half an hour after dinner...we ate late and I just wanted to sleep so took it early, morning fasting all 74-83, and during the day all 110-120 an hour after meals).

I’m so sad and have been soooo sick the last week, so this feels enormous even though I know I have to just suck it up. I have strep throat and am on hydrocodone for a migraine I’m going on day 6 of. Haven’t slept more than an hour or two a night since a week ago Sunday. I just feel like my body is giving up on me and all I care about is taking care of this little man inside me.

I’m sure my doctor will call today and get me to see a nutritionist, but can anyone even tell me what to focus on today? It’s lower carbs and sugars right? Would I be okay to have a couple pieces of bacon and oatmeal for breakfast? I’m out of eggs. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Man oh man with the emotions. I’ll stop crying about this, right?!
