@Mom0925 - how is your OGTT result? Hope you passed it! Para magka hope din ako na pumasa sa OGTT ko!
Hi Sis. Had my OGTT done the other day. I can say i passed the exam.
kc ang criteria, 2 or more abnormal findings pra maconfirm na may GDM.. Failed ako sa "fasting". Here's the thing. I didn't do anything on my diet. Regular diet ako. Actually, a night prior my test, uminom pa ako 2 glasses ng anmum.
ang nasa isip ko kasi that time, pag hindi ko ininom yung anmum ko, at mging ok ang result ko, pra ko lang niloko sarili ko kasi hindi yun yung daily routine ko e. Naicp ko rn, if bagsak man ako, imomodify ko nalng diet ko since yun naman talaga ggawin if mag positive man ako for GDM. So, i had my prenatal vits, and anmum a night prior my test. I went to the laboratory like 8 in the morning. I had my first blood extraction that same moment. After that, pinainom na ako nung 100g na glucose. Pinabalik ako after an hr. Had my 2nd extraction then... After an hour ulit, for my third. After an hr again for the last shot. Btw, youre not allowed to take anything as it can alter ur glucose level.
After 30 mins from my last shot, i got na my result.
FASTING- 100 mg/dl (should be less than 95 mg/dl) - FAILED
1st hr- 177 mg/dl (normal is below 180 mg/dl) - PASSED
2nd hr- 144 mg/dl (normal is below 155 mg/dl) - PASSED
3rd hr- 101 mg/dl (normal is below 140 mg/dl) - PASSED
Showed my result to my OB after, she said i do not have gestational diabetes. Pero sabi nya just to monitor my sugar, irerefer nya ko sa endocrinologist. Sabi rin nya wag ako mastress kc pag daw ang pregnant e stressed, ngrerelease tyo ng more glucose and nakakaapekto dn sa baby. Ang sabi pa nya sakin hndi daw ibig sabihin na nirefer nya ako sa endo e magkaka GDM na ako. Gusto lang daw nya mamonitor rin yung sugar ko kc hindi normal yung isa kong result. Sa isip ko, siguro gawa ng anmum yun. Hehe. Kc hndi nako nagtetake sa umaga e. 2 glasses na lang sa gabi.
So far, ok nman ako. Hindi nko stressed out. I am trying to stay positive na with this pregnancy. With my previous OB kasi, i find her not therapeutic. Very first checkup ko chineck nya cervix ko, may infection daw ako. Niresetahan na nya ko vaginal suppository without even knowing kng anong bacteria ang present. But still, sinunod ko sya.. After that, ngpaultrasound ako, may subchorionic hemorrhage daw ako, pInagbedrest nya ako. Which is very ok for me. Ive got no problem with that..
After more than a month ng pagiging bedrest, finally nagheal na hemorrhage ko.. So masaya ako ipakita sa knya yung result.. Bigla ba nman sabi parang low amniotic daw based sa image ng ultrasound.. Kaya nya ko inorderan ng kung ano anong test. Tapos chineck nya ulit cervix ko, this time may yeast infection naman dw ako.. Pinagtetake nya ko ulit ng ibang antibiotic nman.. Sabi pa nya yung yeast infection daw associated sa GDM.. Parang that day imbes na umuwi akong masaya kasi healed na hemorrhage ko, naging super sad ako kasi panibagong prob na naman.. That was the time na nagdecide ako lumipat sa OB ng cousin ko.
2 wks ako, i had my checkup with my cousin's ob, inultrasound nya ko, hndi nman daw low amniotic ko. Adequate naman daw. Syempre sumaya ako. Pero that same day ako ngpa OGCT, which i failed. Result was supposed to be less than 140. Mine was 167. Kya nya ako pina OGTT. But she told me to stay positive and refrain from stressors kc nakaka affect daw un sa baby and sa akin. Since positive sya, nagiging positive rin ako. Unlike with my previous OB, parang hanap ng hanap ng problema. Syempre pag may problema, naaapektuhan din yung mother diba? So ayun, nung nagpa OGTT ako, since hindi ko inistress sarili ko, and naging positive ako, ok din naging result ko.
im really happy na lumipat ako OB. She helps me na maging positive lagi. Hehe.
Sorry at napahaba ang kwento ko. Haha
Goodluck sa test mo. U can do it too!!
. God bless.
