Blood Glucose Strips

deshonat26 asked:


I am 28 weeks pregnant. Due April 25th. This is my 3rd pregnancy and never had this problem.

Last week I failed my glucose test

1 hour 147

Went back in to do a fasting 3 hour test

Fasting 96
1 hour 214
2 hour 179
3 hour 149

So now they have me on a diet. 3 meals 3 snacks Counting my carbs grams and meat in take. I check my blood sugar levels during the day and my keytones levels when I wake up. I am doing good with the sugar levels I have problems before dinner and the 2 hour test after dinner some times. But the past two mornings I have failed my keytones test. With high levels as dark as the strip can get.

Keytones this is what I know about them
Ketones are produced when your body gets energy by breaking down fat instead of sugar.
Ketones become a problem when you do not have enough insulin to control ketone production properly or you are truly starving because of lack of food. When too many ketones are produced too quickly they upset the delicate balance of the body’s chemistry and can lead to a problem called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

My question is what is the next step? What will they have me do, or is there any more test coming up? Just a little curious want more info. I am posting this in two groups pregnancy and health. I do eat what my diet tells me to the t. I am a little ocd about following rules so I know I am doing it right.
Thank you for all the help!
I am calling the Dr in the AM and going in Tuesday.
