Glucose Levels During Pregnancy?

I had the typical glucose test at my doctors office last week. I hadn’t eaten anything or drank anything before going because my appointment was so early in the morning. They said that with the one hour test my level was at 145 and are now having me go to the hospital for the 3 hour glucose tolerance test to see if I have developed Gestational Diabetes. I was wondering what is the normal range or the average range for a pregnant woman with the one hour test? Also how many of you had a level around the same and indeed had GD? And finally what are the statistics on having GD diagnosed after having an initial elevated level versus having an elevated level and not having GD? Thanks for your help ladies. Oh yeah, I have looked into the risk factors online, and I do fall into some of the categories, such as hispanic, over 25 and pregnant, and overweight when conceived. This is my fifth child and I have never had an elevated level before.

Depending on which book you read, normal blood levels are between 60 to 100, normally they don’t get too excited unless it’s over 120 or your pregnant, which you fit into both.
