Ugh...I failed my 1 hr. test miserably. Since I didn't pass last time, I don't expect to pass this time either, although I have a feeling that I will now be diagnosed as GD. (Last time they just said my blood sugar was high so I gave up as much carbs & sugar as humanly possible until the last few weeks where I had to have a small packet of cookies daily because I couldn't stand it.) I'm not at all happy about having to take the 3 hour test because right now I am super duper stressed with 3 deadlines that I have about 10 days to meet. I can't get anything done at home between having to do family things, trying to rearrange & organize our bedroom and having Abby home (and sick). I'm just really upset right now, and now I have to get ready to go to my ILs for the day...I don't even want my MIL to know about this but Brant insists she should know...that's all I need is someone analyzing everything I eat again.

I'm so sorry things aren't going well right now and you are super stressed. I hope things start improving soon and that you pass your 3 hour! *HUGS*

((((((huggles)))))) Ugh! You sound very stressy right now. Make sure you take time out for yourself!

Sorry things have not been going that well for you. I think you need a break! I'm thinking you are way too stressed now and perhaps you could put aside everything and take a few hours to be by yourself and relax otherwise you're going to run yourself ragged.

I'll live. I'm hoping Abby actually will make it to the 3 days she needs to be at preschool next week, so if my stupid DH doesn't try to make me help him w/ anything then I'll have a few hours to get work done. (I'm trying to rearrange my 3 hour test to Tues. so my mom can watch Abby for me, but we'll see.)

Okay.. You need to stop stressing.. Stress can raise your blood sugar.. Stay calm and relax and attack the problem.. I had GD with Adriana and I know exactly what your going through.. And I will admit, I went through a period of depression and anger when I was first diagnosed with GD.. So it's normal..

Also, if you end up with GD, test the waters.. There are some foods you can have that won't raise your blood sugars. I was able to eat a sour dough jack from Jack in the Box and my BS would be below 120.. I was also able to eat a small piece a cake and still be in range.. But if I had a glass of milk or 1/2 of an apple, my numbers would go through the roof.. Some ladies on the GD forum were able to eat Chinese food and their numbers were within range.. Look at it as if it was a game..

Good luck hun.. {{hugs}}
