Long story short, failed my one hour glucose test. I asked my midwife if I could wait a couple of weeks to see if I could lower my sugar naturally before I take the 3 hour. She won't do it.
She says that if I don't take the 3 hour now I must take the acu check home and test four times a day for two weeks. I am really frustrated. All she said was that it would put me at too much risk for complications. Not sure how?
All I know is that I have heard that the glucose test is very unreliable. Your blood sugar can also be elevated by meds and other things as well.
My midwife has me in a tough spot, if I don't do this she will send me to an OB. I just can't handle that.
My one hour blood test only came back at a 148 and has to be under 130. I have only gained 6 lbs so far in this pregnancy.
So, does anyone know of any info I could print and try and change her mind before I go in this afternoon to get the acu check?
I would appreciate it.
