At least not for another 4 weeks! Talk about feeling relieved! My dr. also said that I was only 3 pts(?) away from being in the normal range for my glucose tolerance test which is very different from what the nurse said to me when she called. She indicated that my glucose levels were "very high" and they weren't that bad. My dr. did say that ( Read more... )

If you're only 3 points above the normal range, why the heck are they putting you through the 3 hour test? For heaven's sake...I'd ask your doctor if it's really necessary to do the 3 hours test. My office considers 130 the cutoff, and my first one was 160 (since I had eaten that morning), so I can understand why they recommended the 3 hour test for me. But for 3 points? It seems a little TOO cautious!

Glad you don't need iron supplements, and glad the shortness of breath is just the baby!

I completely agree! Their cutoff is 140 and I was at 143. My dr. is definitely being very cautious and it might be because of my age.
