Results of the 3hr test

Haha! I guess I forgot to post my results. I called them Friday to get my numbers etc...here's what she said

Fasting-they didn't give me this #
1hr-89
2hr-109
3hr-116(they want this number under 109)

She said I kind of failed. These numbers do not make any sense to me. I looked up what the numbers 'should' be...but mine aren't even close...so I'm a little confused. Here's the chart that I found.

Normal blood values for a 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test used to screen for gestational diabetes:

* Fasting: less than 95 mg/dL
* 1 hour: less than 180 mg/dL
* 2 hour: less than 155 mg/dL
* 3 hour: less than 140 mg/dL


I am going to call them tomorrow and double check my numbers...because they are just really low.

If they are correct, a dietitian will be calling me and setting up an appt. I have to limit my caloric intake to 2200/day...that seems really easy. I have never been a 'calorie counter' but I am now. I am trying to stay away from sugar and obviously things with high calories.
