I failed the 3 hour glucose test, my numbers were just barely over (2nd and 3rd hour were a bit out of range, fasting and 1 hour were perfect). So I've been somewhat following the diet, but not strictly. I was testing religiously though, 2 hours after each meal. Including my fasting #s I've been ranging between the high 60s and high 80s (a few times it was low 90s). So of course I'm kind of questioning my diagnosis. My Dr. says that I can go down to testing 3 random times during the week as he's not too concerned right now because I'm still early in my pregnancy (I'm 15+5). I was tested early due to having had GD with my last pregnancy and I was already at risk for Type 2 before becoming pregnant. Is it possible I could have been misdiagnosed??

I'm also really sad as he told me that I'm not a candidate for the birthing center because I'm considered high risk due to GD. I'm so disappointed as I had my heart set on a natural water birth. :( I can do a natural hospital birth but it's just not the same.
