Question: Does anybody know about gestational diabetes tests!?
Hi, I took the 1 hour gestational diabetes test last night and I see my results online as a 76!.!.!.I have no idea if this is good or bad!? I had to drink some juice, sit at the docs for an hour and then they drew blood!. Does anybody know whats the highest # you can get w/o being considered having diabetes!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
well, 76 is very low- 100 is normal, i don't think you need to worry about gestational diabetes at all!. congratulations on the baby!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If 76 was your Blood Sugar reading 1 hour after drinking the juice, I would say your Blood Sugar was totally normal for THIS test at THAT time!.

All labs have their own standard readings for tests they run!. Most labs I have used list the normal Blood Sugar reading as between 75-125!.

If family members have a history of Diabetes, OR, you are overweight, have multiple health issues, take steroids, don't take care of body properly, work/live under periods of stress, etc!. you could still develop Diabetes during your lifetime, and may therefore need to have your Blood Sugar tested periodically in this same manner!. Maybe even annually during your annual physical!.

The added strain of pregnancy on an individuals body can sometimes push someone tettering on the edge of Diabetes, into a full blown Diabetes episode simply from the added stress for the period of pregnancy!.

Your Doctor would be the BEST person to help you in controlling this problem should it arise, and I'm sure He/She will continue to monitor you as they deem necessary, and in turn will effectively deal with any situation that occurs!.

Good luck!.

You sound like my husband!. A big shot of sugar doesn't affect his blood sugar one bit!. I've tested him! He measured 95 before eating a huge banana split and 1 hour later, he was 95!.

76 is just fine!. Pregnant women have naturally lowered blood sugars compared to a non-pregnant population, so a 76 is completely normal and nothing to worry about!. You have the ability to process a big dose of glucose with no problems!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

76 is actually not low for a pregnant person, i have diabetes and have had a successful pregnancy!. normal blood glucose for a pregnant person is 60-100, and 120 after a meal!. your body will heighten your tolerance for lower blood sugar levels because it is better for the baby, normal healthy blood sugar level while not pregnant is 80-120!. so 76 is very goodWww@Answer-Health@Com

i am a diabetic and 76 is low so u could have diabetes cause mine was up down up down when i got it! come to my website www!.diabeteesrock!.wetpaint!.comWww@Answer-Health@Com
