Home Glucose Monitoring

My doctor wanted me to have the three-hour glucose tolerance test since I flunked the one-hour test.  I just couldn't do the three hour test, I know I would pass out... so I am testing my sugar levels at home, for about a week.  Testing doesn't hurt it's just more of an inconvenience than anything... according to Kaiser's Lab, a reading <130 is acceptable.  This is one of those times when knowing too much is not a good thing.  Only a couple of my readings have been too high but when they are, it freaks me out.  I certainly don't want to be told I have gestational diabetes:-(
