Okay, so I knew it was coming - I was just really hoping to have lucked out... I didn't!
I took my 1hr glucose test yesterday morning and got results today, my level of 209 puts me over the marker for a retest (small thanks there) by 9pts but also puts me square into the land of GD!! I'd like to thank PCOS and my bodies inability to regulate androgen (testosterone) production for this lovely honor - since PCOS and high androgen production are leading causes high glucose levels.
I have been *trying* to do everything right, not saying I don't screw up and should have done a better job of not allowing myself to have those bowls of ice cream or extra couple of rolls at dinner... 3 months, I can do this for 3 months... after all it's just a matter of stopping that extra carb and sugar intake. I'm just pissed off at myself for knowing it was coming and still indulging as much as I did, I took for granted that the scale wasn't climbing for the first 16wks because I was doing all the things that I knew I should be doing instead of allowing myself to indulge. Grrr... Not that I don't eat, I just "temporarily forget" I was supposed to be eating like a diabetic every single day! So being lazy about my food has got to stop... no more stopping for breakfast, no more french fries for dinner because it's quick, no more just cause food...
Doc did say a few really good things though... she said that since baby has been measuring perfectly normal at every appt, there has not been any protein (or ketones or excess glucose) for any of my urine tests, and I only have gained 5lbs (at 24wks appt) compared to pre-pregnancy weight that she's not overly concerned at this point. Of course I know that I dropped about 15lbs between finding out I was preg and 16wk appt, and have gained every single pound back in the last 8wks plus a few more... although I'm currently sitting at exactly the same weight as I was prior to getting preg right now.
I'm just frustrated and a little freaked out... I HATE THIS!!!
