OGTT - Gestational Diabetes
I’m taking OGTT tomorrow and I’m scared I will fail the test. What will happen if I fail? Do I have to monitor my blood sugar daily? #firsttimemom
Hello, I’m a FTM with no risk factors at all, but I failed the test spectacularly 😅 Will need to monitor blood sugar 7 times a day, for 2-3 days a week. Honestly, the pricking doesn’t hurt. The anticipation of it hurting is scarier🤣 For myself, I monitored very religiously everyday after the test for 2 weeks. Taking note what works for me, and what doesn’t. After my 2 week review where the doctor went through my meals and readings and gave advice, i only do it when I eat new things so I know if these new foods work for me or not. Don’t worry too much !
