1 Hr Glucose test fail.

I am feeling so bad to write this. I got a VM to my land line and I checked that in the email.
It was from Paula, she said, please call me etc etc. As soon as I read that msg I understood that something is wrong. I called to the hospital and asked for paula. She was on phone and said ‘ Unfortunately your glucose levels are high and you failed the test. I became so saddddd. I was afraid of this since the beginning of my pregnancy. That’s the main reason every night I am just eating chapatti and very little curd rice but sill I failed L
I asked her how much is my number. She replied its 190 or 196. Basically it should be below 140 or 140 to pass. So mine is pretty elevated . I thought Ho noooooo
I booked the other glucose test on Tuesday (03/13/12) morning at 7 o clk. Paula gave me the instructions ‘ Do not eat after mid night ,drink only water. At 7 o clk they will first take my blood before the drink, then I have to drink the syrup after 1 hr they will take my blood again and after 2 hrs and finally after 3 hrs. So there are 4 diff blood check ups. If I fail only in one then I pass. If I fail in 2 then I fail and they will ask me to meet the nutrition. I know if that happens I will be screwed. I am so scared. So from now itself I started maintaining. Night I ate 2 chapatis and cauliflower. Even I went for a walk yesterday for 2 rounds near my home.
Even today I ate oat meal in the morning and one kiwi as snack at 10:30am and for lunch one cup rajma,curd and one chapatti, I threw one more. Its it’s a lot. At 3:30pm I ate some peanuts and walnuts.

I found a website on line which gives how much carbs to eat and what all foods have high carbs and there numbers etc. Lets see how it goes and how much will I maintain
