At 200, I would not even bother wiht a 3h test. That level is
extrememly high at 18 weeks. I would treat you as a gestational
diaebetic from no on. the glucose metabolism tends to get worse as the
pregnancy progresses. Even if you have normal 3h test, you'll need to
go all over this again at 28 weeks.
