I am 29 weeks pregnant. My fasting blood sugar test result was 86. My first result one hour after drinking the nasty glucola (100mg) was 202. My second result was 150 and my third was 136. So I clearly failed 1 of the 3 which according to everything I’ve read means I DO NOT have gestational diabetes. However, rather than the doctor calling to tell me what it does mean, some medical assistant calls to assure me that I don’t have GD but I do have glucose intolerance or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). However she can’t really tell me what that means but instead emails me a meal plan for gestational diabetes and tells me a nutritionist will call me on Monday and then reassures me I don’t have GD. So now I have to go through the weekend with the following questions. Maybe someone out there can help me answer:
1. With IGT am I at risk of having gestational diabetes?
2. How is this going to effect my baby?
3. Why do I have to follow a GD menu plan if I don’t have GD?
4. How can the blood test be the only determining factor for IGT or GD if in my case all my urine samples have been normal, my blood pressure is perfect, I have no family history of diabetes, I’ve only gained 8 pounds in this pregnancy and I have no other symptoms?
5. Does having IGT mean that I am at risk for Type 2 diabetes later in life?
Also, what is the difference between having Gestational Diabetes and Impaired Glucose Tolerance if they are treated the same way?

The value range for the Glucose Tolerance Test is:
Fasting 95 mg/dl or higher
One hour 180 mg/dl or higher
Two hours 155 mg/dl or higher
Three hours 140 mg/dl or higher

And (not including the fasting results) a person only has to pass 2 of 3 to be cleared of GD. So the person who left the comment that a normal range is 80 to 120 is not correct for this scenario.

all i drink is water and i excercise alot because im in volleyball and they make us work out like crazy!!
Oh and my blood pressure is 135.

This month has been pretty hectic for me and I have been to the Dr at least 5 times ( trying to figure out my heart issues). Two of the times I have went I had a fasting blood sugar test. The 1st time it was 114 and the test I had today was 120. Im 20 years old, Female, 5′1 110pounds. I went 15 hours without eating before these tests. I watch what I eat (Dr gave me a heart smart diet) She seemed a bit concerned today but didnt mention anything about it because she was more concerned about my white blood cells being elevated. Should I be worried about my fasting sugar being like this? Could my sugar being high cause my heart rate and blood pressure to increase? Thanks for any help.
Oh if it makes any difference. On my dads side of the family, My great uncle( passed away), My Aunt, and my cousin all have had diabetes. On my moms side my Great Grandma had it

My doctor has ordered a test at the hospital to check my glucose levels–It was 115 on the fasting blood test in the office. I have never had a problem before–my cholestral is 135 and my blood pressure is great. Do I have diabetes or might this be a fluke? I will have the test but am very worried. Any experience with this issue?

My sugar and blood pressure go down a lot, mostly on the first day of my period. It’s to the point where if I don’t get some sweets in me after a while I start to feel faint.

The water treatment in question prescribes 4 x 160ml glasses of water every morning when waking but before washing the treeth. Then brush the teeth, and 45 minutes later one can drink or eat normally.
This procedure will cure the diseases of the sick and others can enjoy healthy life if taken during:
30 days for Blood Pressure and Diabetes
10 days for Gastric and constipation
90 days for TB
180 days for cancer.
I feel this too good to be true. Although I have nothing to loose in following the treatment, I wonder whether this is based on some scientific or medical research.
I will appreciate your views
