Hopefully I jumped the gun on the whole diabetes thing. We'll see. I had my regular appointment with the OB this morning and I'm going for an official blood test tomorrow. My glucose level did go back to normal (125) within an hour of my eating breakfast, so that's a good sign. Google informed me that you only have gestational diabetes if your glucose level is over 180 after an hour, so I'm pretty sure I was just overreacting. My fasting levels are also just WAY too low (70-75) to indicate diabetes. Of course I'll keep testing just to be safe.

Hey, you're pregnant. Brownies are your God-given right!
My wife had her glucose bounce up a couple of times during her pregnancy, but it always settled back down too. Good thing, because she needed her chocolate fix something fierce.
