Of the four blood draws that were done with the 3 hour GTT, I was over the limit on two of them.  Due to the fact that your blood sugars run higher the further you get into the pregnancy, and with two babies, I being put on the diabetic diet.  I suppose this means that I am being considered to have gestational diabetes.  At least this dr, unlike his brother, is not making me redo the 3 hour.  Last time the results of the first 3 hour were bordreline as well.  By the time I did the second one, they were all over.

Unlike last time, I am not seeing the office person who serves as a dietician.  That person showed me how to use the glucometer and gave me a sample menu and that was essentially it.  This time I am being scheduled into a class at the St. John’s Perinatal Center.  I should hear later today when that will be.

This of course means that I will be turning into a carb counter.  I despise these diets with the carb emphasis.  This also means that I will be hating myself, as I will have no choice but to obsess over carbs.  Lucky me.
