I am 19 weeks pregnant and just took my glucose test for gestational diabetes. My doctor said that my test came back positive but was too soon to diagnose me with gestational diabetes, so said I have Impaired Glucose Tolerance. Has anyone had to deal with this while pregnant?

Oh yeah, did you do the one hr. test? Mine came out with high numbers too, what is next is that you will have to do another glucola test but this time it will take 3 hrs. I have gestational diabetes and I have to check my blood sugar 4 times a day until the baby is born. Your baby will be fine, do not worry about it, the only direct threat is that your baby can be born with low blood sugar or it can be a really big baby. Don't stress over it, it will be fine, it will go away after the baby is born.

I'm 33 weeks and have gestational diabetes...it's not a big deal if you do what the doctor says...they sent me to a dietician and now I'm on a special diet...I have to count carbs and eat 6 times a day...My doctor is cool..he doesn't make me poke my finger 4 times a day..I just go in once a week..and they draw blood before I eat and then 1 hour after I eat...I've only gained 19 lbs so far cause it teaches you to eat healthy...I have to go to the doctor weekly from this week until I have him so they can do a Non Stress test and make sure he's doing ok....but overall...it's really not that bad...just takes a little more effort then normal
