My gynac asked me to do the sugar test next week and im a little nervous about it. Dont really understand what numbers are considered normal. Can someone who has done it explain thoda?
Usually, fasting is expected to be under 92-95 mg/dL, and after drinking that super sweet glucose, it should stay under 140 after 2 hours! 🧪 Don't worry, even if it's slightly elevated, a simple diet change can fix it!
I panicked so much when my 1-hour GTT came out to 150 and I thought I had severe diabetes! But my doctor explained it was just slightly elevated and completely normal to manage with small walks. So please relax, it's a very standard test.
During my pregnancy, my GTT levels were borderline, but with my doctor's advice and moderate diet control, everything went smoothly till my C-section delivery. Just focus on your recovery and nutrition, and trust your medical team's advice on these numbers.
For the standard 2-hour 75g GTT, fasting should be below 92 mg/dL, 1-hour below 180, and 2-hour below 153. If any of these values are high, your doctor might diagnose gestational diabetes. Just share the report with your gynac for an accurate assessment.
I totally understand how scary it is to wait for these medical reports, your heart must be racing. If the numbers are slightly high, please don't blame yourself, gestational issues are very common and highly manageable. Sending you so much love and strength.
Listen, don't stress yourself reading too many reports online. Usually, fasting should be under 95 mg/dL, 1-hour under 180, and 2-hour under 155, but exact ranges can slightly vary depending on the lab. Let your gynac look at it, she will guide you perfectly.
