Diagnosed with gestational diabetes today.
I took the 1 hour glucose test two weeks ago and tested 212.
I took the 1 hour test again last week and tested 186
Took the 3 hour test yesterday and the first blood draw came back 64, 2nd was 175, 3rd was 207, & 4th was 171.
The nurse (Misty) at Women's Health Center, where we plan/hope to do a water birth, just called to tell me to start taking medication and checking my blood sugar 4 times a day.
Medication: (Metformin) Pick it up anytime, start taking it tomorrow morning. I will cause some nausea and diarrhea at the beginning of taking it. Make sure to eat protein when taking it. It's not insulin.
If we do really well with this along with diet then we won't have to take insulin.
Check blood sugars 4 times a day.
I pray that you're OK in there baby. I'm worried about us now. You more than anything. I love you.
