I'm confused.........help.

Okay, Tuesday I had my glucose test. Today they called me and told me my numbers were too high and I have to go back for a 3 hour glucose test. I guess it came out at 160. I've NEVER had to be retested. Someone please tell me if this has happened before to you and what in the world does this mean? I'm not 100% worried about it (okay a little cause I really don't like needles). What does the glucose test determine anyway? I've never asked, just did what they said to do. So........I'm confused and need help. Thanks!

Yes, she called me...and I'm so sorry Cindee that you have to face more needles! I feel confident though that you will "pass" this test and nothing further will be needed or done. If you have the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting" it has a great section on this topic, explaining how during pregnancy our bodies are made to let our sugars run a little higher...but sometimes it runs a little too high. I have the book if you don't and would like to borrow it. Of course, there are thousands of articles on the web too. :)
