Failed

So I failed my 3 hour glucose test! NOOO! But at least I didn't fail as bad as I did with Aiden I just remember being WAY over with him. This time my 2hr mark was 160 needs to be below 154, and my 3hr mark was 150 needs to be below 140. Ugh! So what does this mean?

I have to record what I eat and check my blood sugar 4 times a day. My poor fingers! My doc is going to monitor my levels and if they are crazy high I will be put on insulin shots. DEF don't want this!!

Yesterday evening I checked my levels after dinner. 118. This morning 82. Normal levels. So why the heck do I do so bad during the tests?!?! I seriously think my body goes into shock and can't break down the large amount of sugar I just ingested. Very frustrating.

And this also means I get hit with more expenses! UGH!! I seriously want to know why this stuff is SO expensive?!?! Thank goodness I still kept my machine and needles from Aiden, but I had to get some more test strips. How much for 12 day supply??? $51 yes so $127 a month just for strips! Does not include if I need more needles. I know it's for the safety of myself and Brody, but I think anyone would have a mini stroke hearing that...

What else does this mean?! I get to do another glucose 3 hour test after I have Brody too! YAH!! Not! I passed it last time with Aiden so hopefully I will do the same. Yesterday was a bad news day for me. :-(
