Failed the one hour glucose test [bc]
I feel really stressed and anxious after finding out I failed my 1 hour glucose test!! I unintentionally fasted when I didn't have to and wasn't the greatest with diet leading up to it as we were on vacation, and I got a 8.5mmol/l as a result. I'm so disappointed in myself.
After finding out my results last week, I've been actively paying attention to what I eat (balance of good carbs and protein) and exercising 20-30 min after a meal. What are my chances of passing the second 2-hour glucose test (with fasting) at this rate?
I'm pretty nervous and I just want our baby girl to be healthy and I really would like to indulge in a donut or mc Donald's on occasion if you know what I mean haha. Ugh advice please
ETA update: Update: did my 2 hour glucose test yesterday. Have to admit that the first hour wasn't the greatest--felt a little clammy,dizzy and a headache. Second hour was better. Glad it's over! Fasting glucose: 5.0 (cutoff 5.2) 1 hour glucose: 9.8 (cutoff 10.5) 2 hour glucose: 8.2 (cutoff 8.9)
Passed! Thanks for everyone's support and reassuring me. Since doing my first one hour glucose test and just reflecting on what I've eaten past few weeks and activity level, I changed up my diet (balance of carb, healthy fats and fiber) and upped my activity level (doing something everyday 20-30 min be it on the treadmill, body weight circuit, light weights etc--granted it's easier to do now than first trimester/first half of second trimester)!
Anyways thought I'd update everyone!
