Gestational diabetes HELPPP really worried?

Question

Well two days ago i had my glucose test. Well my doctor called me today and left a message saying i need to call her back. Played phone tag and didnt end up talking to her. Well anyways it has to have something to do with the test because SHE never calls. Anyways what are some symptoms to gestational diabetes and what happens if you do have it. (so far i feel fine)

Answer 1

Most of the time gestational diabetics never "feel" anything.  The symptoms of excessive thirst & urination are signs of diabetes in general, but they show up in someone who has had high blood sugars for a while.  It's a cumulative effect - you have to have had high blood sugars for a long time before you start showing that kind of symptom. Gestational diabetes comes on so quickly that it can start between one week of pregnancy and the next (week 28 is when it starts to show up) because of pregnancy hormones.  So there's usually not enough time to feel symptoms.  Every now and then there's someone who has the symptoms, but they've usually either had type 2 diabetes and didn't know it, or they had a severe case (very high blood sugars) once it started.  

Answer 2

I know if you didn't pass the first one. They want you to do another one which would be a three hour test. that want my doctor does. If you have it they would go by the second one and they tell you have it for sure. I did some research they saying symptoms are really thirsty tired all the time and peeing a lot has well.

Answer 3

You are supposed to eat protein if you ever feel bad and eat smaller meals more frequently :)
