I am wondering how this works. I'm pregnant with my third child, was diagnosed insulin resistant in my late teens... had gestational diabetes with my first two, and am type 2 now with my third. I've never spilled sugar before, ever, even with my second pregnancy which was not very controlled. I have tight control over my blood sugar this time and am on glyburide. I've never had high blood pressure either.
My doctor wants me to do a 24-hour urine collect, which he wants just for a baseline.
However, I'm wondering how the spilling sugar works... does it happen when you get to a certain number? Like, say I took my meds a little later than usual today and my 1-hour breakfast reading was 140 (fasting was 80)... would I spill at that number? Or would I have to have elevated blood sugar for a period of time before it started happening? My numbers have been really, really good, under 120 at 2-hour, usually they range from 70s to low 100s.
I don't want to screw up the test b/c I took my meds late. But, this is usually the time I have my appointments, and I've never spilled there, so I'm assuming I'll be fine...?
