Jellybeans are my current weakness right now! I need to get rid of the Costco size jar in my kitchen! So easy and tempting to grab a small hand full everytime I pass it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-48062 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:58:56 +0000 tequiero21 48062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: o really? i thought the dip stick was to test UTI.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47953 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:53:06 +0000 Mrsbells 47953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They use a dip stick to test your urine at every appointment for protein and sugar so they will catch it, or atleast they should. I dont think you get GD by eating too many sweets, its more an issue with the way your body processes the sugar rather than your intake of sugar. atleast I hope so because I cant stop eating chocolate raisins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47902 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:43:33 +0000 tequiero21 47902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: yes, they test my urine each time i go, but i always thought they tested for UTI. the medical assistant did make a comment about the urine looking good after the glucose test though, so maybe they can see the breakdown of sugars just by looking at urine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47817 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:24:35 +0000 lemondrop 47817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't worried too much since like @Enjollah said, at each dr appt they test my urine for glucose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47811 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:00:49 +0000 enjollah 47811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm worried about this too because I tend to eat a lot of sweets too! When you go for your checkups, do you do a urine test? I do one every time and I think they check the sugar and proteins...? Not exactly sure... I would just try to control it for the time being :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47808 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:15:45 +0000 MsMini 47808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen babies (working in NICU), that their Moms passed the GTT (glucose tolerance test), that present like a gestational diabetes baby (large for gestational age, appearance wise "look" like infants of diabetic moms, difficulties maintaining blood sugar requiring IV treatment when they shouldn't have issues). I do think that there is some change you can have glucose tolerance issues that crop up after the 28 week screening, but I wouldn't think it is a common enough issue to be overly concerned about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47735 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:08:23 +0000 tequiero21 47735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: haha yup, thanks! i "moved back in" tuesday! i should have disinfected everything, but i got lazy. and so far, i feel fine. we did change the sheets though. and he bought me some automatic soap dispenser (love it!) so i wouldn't touch the soap haha.</p> <p>@artbee: yeah, starting now, i have to see my doctor every 2 weeks! so i'll ask her then to see what they do to make sure i'm okay. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47630 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:34:09 +0000 heffalump 47630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like if it were an issue, they would test again. You could always ask your doctor just to make sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47628 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:33:20 +0000 chopsuey 47628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know, but I wouldn't worry about it. Just eat healthy to offset the sweets! :) Lots of veggies and lean meats. :)<br /> Hope your DH is feeling better now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pass-glucose-test-and-then-develop-gd#post-47620 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:21:05 +0000 tequiero21 47620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm afraid that they test once, you pass, and then they don't test again and then you could develop it right after the test. =T i am prone to eating tons of sweets. i can't stop. =( </p>
