possible GD, even after so much weight loss! Grrr...
Hey ladies -
So, since I am a dumper, I have been unable to take a glucose tolorance test to screen for GD. Instead of the test, my OB suggested I test my sugar one full day a week. So, I missed last week, and today, all my levels were great all day, then, after a slightly carby-er dinner, I tested and it was super high (266 after 1 hour, 150 after 90 min) I had GD with my son, when I was weighing in at 365 lbs. I just thought losing so much weight would help me to avoid this again. I am so dissapointed. So, I am going to test again tomorrow, and call my OB and report myself. I am assuming that if the reading was that high and my carb/sugar intake was not NEARLY what it would be if I took the GTT, that I will have to start going back to the endocrin doc. Sucky.....
Has anyone else had to test like this? Anyone else lost a bunch of weight only to have to still deal with GD?
Thanks for the venting space...

Yeah... GD is related to raises in hormones during pg and not related to weight or even type 2 for that matter. I had type 2 and it went away with wls...but got gd with both of my post op pregnancies. It did go away after birth though. I know it sucks, but just do what you have to do to keep that babe healthy. It is just 13 more weeks right? GL
