Here is the story...
Last Tuesday (19 weeks along) I did an early glucose test (only one hour long). My family has a history of diabetes and I've been dealing with low blood sugar for about 8-10 years now. It is common for women to get gestational diabetes while pregnant (then it goes away after having the baby), and each pregnancy is screened when the mother is between 24 and 28 weeks. I requested to have mine earlier...and luckily I did. The nurse told me that my blood sugar level was high - around 193. For an average person an hour after eating their blood normally levels out to 120-130 or so.... So tomorrow I am going in for the 3 hour glucose tolerance test. I'm not concerned about me, I just hope that there isn't anything wrong that will happen or has happend to our baby John.
I'll keep you guys posted.
