Failed 1 Hour Glucose Tolerance Test...

[MrsWhite]

I know I'm a few days early but I figured there are going to be more people in third tri who have done their glucose tolerance test than in second tri. I failed the 1 hour test where it is non-fasting and you drink the glucola...my blood sugar was 165, where it should be below 140. I have gained 35 pounds already (and I am a small girl, started out at 110 lbs at 4'10"), so I suspect that I may have gestational diabetes. I won't know for sure until Friday when I do the fasting 3 hour test, but I was wondering how many of you have failed the first time and what the results were the second time around? Thanks girls!

I failed mine as well. I got a call and the nurse just said my results were a little elevated and that I'll do the next test next Monday. I'm not sure what my result numbers were. I've gained plenty of weight too (about 20lbs). I was a plus size to begin with, but never had any health problems...so I'm a bit worried as to whats to come. However a lot of people have said that they failed the first one and past the second one...so there's still hope!!!

Hope you get great answers on your second test.

I hate that test, so gross and it makes me so nervous. I had that test I think 3 different times during this pregnancy. Hope you pass your 3 hour, and welcome to third tri

My OB told me not to eat or drink before I go for the 1 hour test. I think he gave me the wrong info. He said the same thing in my last pregnancy and I didnt. I remember I was starving when it was done.

I did mine last week and not sure yet the results.

I have gained 30 pounds this pregnancy, but have actually found the past month and a half my weight has stopped. I am staying the same spot.

So, I dunno yet what to tell you. Hope all works out for you.

I took the test about a week or so ago and my blood sugar was 215! She told me I don't even need to do the 3 hour test because it was so bad.

As for weight gain during pregnancy..... not sure that has anything to do with it. They say that weight before you get pregnant might...but that isn't really always the case either. The main thing I have got out of it is that it's hormonal.

Have u gotten the results of ur 3hr test? I failed the 1hr test, didn't get any numbers but was told it was high. I go back Saturday to do the fasting 3hr test.

I failed the first time and passed the second time. Chances are good that you will pass, don't worry about it too much!

 

[ttcfirstbb]

I called my Dr's office to get my numbers and their cut off is 130 and my results were 137 so the nurse said it was high nut not too bad. FX'd that I pass my 3hr!

ive got mine next tuesday but i hope all goes well

i got a 142 so I had to take the 3 hour test (ughhh the drink is even more disgusting than the 1st one) But I had drank a smoothie right before i took the 1hr and that messed up my results, but I passed the 3 hour and was even a little too low my Dr. said! you just can't win!

 

[BabyBoyNYC]

bring some water and snack for when you are finished with your 3 hour! I almost fainted after mine

I failed my 1-hour test twice. They usually don't let you take the 1 hour again if you failed it the first time, but they thought the only reason I had failed the first one was that I had forgotten about the test and gone out for lunch a few hours before my examination. I passed both 3-hour tests, however. It was a pain to have to drink that solution a total of four times, though.

Good luck to you!! I wouldn't worry too much.

HI ladies,
I failed my first 1 hr test early on in the pregnancy, I don't knwo why they did one so early but it was ok. I took my second 1 hr and I failed that one by just a little. I took the 3 hr test and I passed it. My scores looked good except for the 2nd vial of blood they took, it showed jsut a tiny below normal but he said you have to have 2 off scores for it to mean gestational diabetes, but he advised me to watch my weight for the remainer of pregnancy.

I am already a big girl and I have gained 10 lbs so far. I'm 27 weeks right now. I hope to only gain 10 more at the absolute max. I hope I can do it.

I had mine 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything, so I am thinking that I passed it. I will find out for sure at my appt. this wednesday. And P.S. I thought the orange one was good !

 

[kiasuten]

I'm not technically in third tri until tomorrow, but I just had the test today. Dr said she'll call me tomorrow if there's anything abnormal with the test.... I hope to God I don't get a phone call.

At my 13 week scan, dr told me she only wanted me to gain a total of 15lbs during the whole pregnancy (I'm overweight...) and I've lost almost 40lbs. So I take that to mean that I can now gain 55lbs lol But seriously, I've gained 3 lbs in the last month, so if I keep it that low I can still be good for the rest of the pregnancy.

Good luck on your tests, ladies!!

EDIT: Yeah, that orange glucose test tasted like flat orange soda. I drank it so fast the nurses were laughing at me.

 

[CheerCoach]

Because of my age my doctor had me do one at 15 weeks, which I passed, but I have another one tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it that drink is just nasty. I hope your 2nd one goes better for you. Good luck

I failed the 1hr,then failed the 3 hr,i do have gd but have only gained about 12pds,i was 128lbs and now at 35weeks im 140,although since learning of the gd i keep a strict diet and droped from 145lbs. Theres a great chance u can pass 3hr,but until then just stay positive hun! Our dd is not overly big and they say since adhereing to the diet i have become very healthy&babes is doin awesome,so even if u do have it it can be controlled and not affect youa!

 

[zoesboots]

Sorry about terrible spelling,lol,on my mobile phone!grrr

 

[MrsWhite]

Thanks girls I did fail my 3 hour, but since then I've been going off the diet they gave me, and even have cheated a bit, and have had good blood sugars, usually around 100. so I think I will be fine Good luck to the rest of you who have yet to take your test!
