False Positive Gestational Diabetes?
lupe ronaldo asked:
My wife failed both the glucose tests she was administered a few weeks ago. We were positive she had it after she failed the extended glucose test, “Even though she wasn’t displaying any of the symptoms associated with Gestational Diabetes.”. Now we have been testing her sugar levels with a one touch self testing applicator, and her numbers have been in the low 70’s. Far below what they should be for someone with gestational diabetes. What should we do now? we don’t want to disregard the doctors advice, but are skeptical of the results of their tests, and the testing method for that matter.

I’d help her stay on a low glycemic diet, even those of us without gestational diabetes who over indulge in sugar end up with too big babies and shoulder dystocia. And get your monitor checked, sometimes they can give false readings.
