Failed glucose test & pregnancy Posted: 03-26-08 18:06pm
My doctor just called me not long ago and
said that I didn't pass my glucose test
and that I have to go in on friday to take
the 3 hour test...
I never done that before and I'm really
worried now that I won't pass this one
too.
whats gonna happened if I don't pass the 3
hour one???
Is it something I should be worried
about??
thanks ladies!

i wouldn't worry about not passing the
first test too much. if you ate sugary
foods before taking the test, that will
make you fail it. the test is to screen
you for gestational diabetes. so if you
don't pass the fasting 3 hour test you
will be diagnosed with gestational
diabetes.

Yeah don't worry. I failed my 1 hour and
then went back to take the 3 hour and it
was fine. The stuff you drink is grose
though! I preferred the orange flavor when
they gave me the choice. My friend failed
both but it was the 3 hour that told them
that in the first hour after she eats her
sugar was to high so they told her to cut
the sweets, pasta etc but, if she did eat
those to exercise. She never needed
insulin or anything. She was fine and so
was her baby and the next pregnancy she
didn't have the sugar issue at all. Hope
this helps!

When I took the 1 hour one I didn't eat or
drink anything. And I failed anyways.
But I do hope I pass the 3 hour one. They
told me not to eat or drink after
midnight.
Should I be worried about gestational
diabetes if I do have it???

My mom had gestational diabetes with me, I
think you have to go to the doctors more
often and monitor your sugar all day. I
was a BIG baby becuase my mom had it.
If not treated properly it can become very
serious...

I hope they find your vein every time,
they take blood 5 times, so it really
sucks. I made them switch arms after the
3rd time, it was really tender.
If it's really bad, you'll have to take
insulin. But usually they just tell you
not to eat certain things and exercise.
It's manageable, so don't worry too much.
It's also easier if you don't get on bed
rest for anything, cause exercising helps
it a lot.
