went for my 1 hour glucose test at 28 weeks along.before i was preg,i always had Low blood sugar,and had to eat well,or i'd feel wiped out;ect,..id feel like poop if i didnt eat,or have sugar stuff at least 3 days a week..now that i am pregnant,i have felt pretty good! i was surprised i failed the 1 hour test.i do eat a lot of pasta during the week,which i shouldnt,but its a few days a week i have it.i also eat like a cow.so the night before this test,i ate normal,but it was pasta.it was a 4 hour fasting,i ate at 6 am, a bowl of cereal and milk.some water.5 hours later,i went for my testing. i had my glucose drink in 5 minutes down,1 hour later,the blood draw.2 days later, the results were astonishing! a whopping 171 ! so now i have to go for the 3 hour blood draw after drinking the glucose drink..in 3 days..the nurse that called me said i need to fast from 12 am,until AFTER the test..then i can eat.
she also said eat like i normally do,(im assuming she means regular portions with no junk food or ice cream)...and if i get hungry in between,for the next 3 days,the extra munchies can only be stuff with carbohydrates?! she said 2/3 cup of rice, or 2 small bananas,or 1 large cup of apple juice,or 2 corn tortillas;or 2 slices of bread..no other extras.so for 3 days,i am gonna be hungry! what can i do to lower glucose levels ? it doesnt sound right that i eat those foods she said i should be eating,up until i test.any advice on what diet you had to follow if you've had diabetes while preg ? did my pasta and cereal consumption 5 hours before testing set me up to fail ? can me having low blood sugar prepregnancy,have an effect on higher blood sugar while pregnant? she said i wouldve passed if it were 140 and under.
anyone answer my questions??
