Gestational diabetes test results

March 12
I was told I wouldn't get the results of my lab work for a few days and "no news is good news".  Well, I just got a phone call :(.  They say my glucose levels were elevated at 151, the cutoff is 139.  So, anything 140 and above is bad.  They now want to schedule the 3 hour long test, which is a more true test.  I will fast for 12 hours and they will check my levels every hour for 3 hours.  This is scheduled for Thursday morning. 

I am not too worried yet, I had to do the 3 hour test when I was pregnant with Jack too.  I don't remember the specific numbers though, I want to say I was in the 140 range. Then after the 3 hour test, they concluded I did not have gestational diabetes.  Hopefully the same thing will happen with this one.  Its just too bad I have to do the 12 hour fast and 3 hour test, I remember feeling so sick when I did it with Jack.  Not looking forward to doing this again.  Oh well.
