diabetes

[hbollotte]

my nurse just called and my sugars were high. i took the one hour glucose test on wednesday to check for gest. diabetes and now they want me to go back and take the three hour glucose test.

i know being a cf'er i'm more prone to having diabetes, but did any of you have it while you were pregnant?

I'm not pregnant and none of my friends that have babies have CF BUT...every single one of them have had to go for the 3 hour test after the 1 hour test. My one friend has had 3 babies and she went in for ALL of them. Another had 2 and the same thing. While I would still be cautious about it I wouldn't take it as a definite sign you may develop it...

Hope that settled your nerves slightly <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

haley,

It is common to get CFRD with cystic fibrosis as you know. But it is also common for some women to get diabetes only when pregnant.

Haley,

You know I'm not pregnant, but I have to get the glucose tolerance test every year since I am a "borderline diabetic".


They always order the 2-hour-glucose test. To be straight with you, I ALWAYS FAIL at the 1 hour mark. By the 2nd hour, I'm either normal or close enough to it that the doctors continue to monitor me from a distance with diet. I have been informed, though, that the chance of me be diabetic THOROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PREGNANCY IS HIGH. I would most likely require insulin shots until I would give birth. At that time, my blood sugar values will hopefully return to normal. Mine may not since I am already "on the edge".

Try not to get to worked up, yet. You only had the one-hour test. I would nearly bet on the fact that your 3-hour will be either normal or very close. I think diet alone would probably be enough to ride you through the rest of the way. You are halfway, right?

Also, here are some things that can raise your blood sugar (you may already know these):

*sickness, *steriods (I haven't been able to take these for years while sick.), *potatoes, *regular pasta, *white bread, *sweet potatoes, *pizza, and the list goes on and on.

Were you feeling "sick" when you got the bloodwork? Also, **stress** raises blood sugars. I forgot to add that above. I'm trying to think of things that some might miss. Another idea, **heat** makes my blood sugar high. If I take the glucose test in the summer, the results are always worse off. I know you can't get around that, but I thought you should know. My best time for the test is winter, which is when I make sure to take it. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Every once and awhile in the summer, I do get a dizzy high blood sugar. I know without even taking the prick to the finger.

Also, simple exercise can reduce blood sugars. I know right now it's hard for you but do you walk? That would help.

Well, good luck. Sorry to be so long. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
