Glucose tolerance test

[CrazyMumma]

Has anyone had the HBA1c tests?

Am 18 weeks and have to have this test done today. If bad, then the 3hr test done asap, if ok then the 3hr one done at 28 weeks unless things change and I have symptoms

Never had GD with DD, but I was also 30kg lighter when I got pregnant with her, and am pretty much immobile due to SPD so they are concerned about my weight

Okay ladies got my test this morning, it's 7.30am here and I'm so hungry but won't be able to eat for another 4hrs yet I hope I'm not sick :-/

 

[bundle4me]

So I'm very hungry and this makes me moody, i go where I was told for my appointment and there's no records of me so iv had to come home. Not a happy bunny ��

Hi girlies got my results today so happy I could cry

Looks like this time round I'm GD free .
I couldn't believe it I was so expecting to have it again
They retest at 28weeks but so far so good, I'm still going to live by the diabetic diet plan from last time for an even better chance of it not returning at all

I'm determined for my VBAC so that's keeping me going xx

Congrats dear let us knw when is the next one and also what is the diet you following so it can help all of us what did u eat before your 1 hr test??

Nothing really unusual tbh Hun just cutting out sugary drinks, low carbs, more veg and less fruit.... Deffo still eat fruit but not as much have more veg instead, skimmed or semi- skimmed milk, have diet yogurts. Foods like musli, beans, peas etc release sugar slowly so their better, if you are gonna have sugar in tea, coffee or cereal have a sweetener instead.

It won't cut my risk completely but I know that if I try to stick to that as much as I can I've done all I can to reduce the risk xx

Before my test I was told not eat anything 12 hours before so my last meal was the night before.

@Sil I felt dizzy when I had mine done at 16 weeks, which I passed with flying colors mine came as 108 where the cut off was 140, the reason I was told to go thru it cuz my endo felt I can get gd easily as I had mild pcod once so just to be sure everything is fine usually this is done in the initial week as well, but now that baby is big will definitely have my little one going all crazy once I take that sugary drink as at that time I was too early to feel the movement, so hoping my next time turns out great as well and so for u!! Let us know when u expecting the result so I can put in the initial description above

@Ahughes yup the sugary drink we have to gulp it down within 5 mins and u may feel dizzy afterwards it's good to take a walk so I did the same I drank and then I walked to the doc's office so it was good 10 mins walk, I also got mine and have refrigerated it!!


@ Abbey lets us know when is the date finalized for you hun so I can put in the initial description above and the good thing to have before glucose tolerance is less crabs and more protein like I had whole wheat toast and egg also as Sil mentioned toast with almond butter or peanut butter is a good choice too

@highhopes welcome hun! Fx tightly crossed for you although they say you may get gd again if you've got previously but If you eat healthy and remain active I think it can be easily taken care of and hoping the same in your case too hun fx again so you had your glucose tolerance in 17weeks 4d? And the next again you'll have after 24 weeks right?

Hey jiw617 welcome hun!! Are you going to have one once u are 16 weeks?

Ok I saw my doctor Friday and got my next appt which will include my 1hr glucose test... But my doc is using my original due date that I got at 8 weeks not my due date that has been used at every ultrasound since... Its only a 3 day difference so I suppose it doesnt matter. I go in for the 1 hour on May 18th, and I will be 27 weeks 6 days. The paper she gave me with directions for the test also says "28 week glucose test" so she must just want to test at approx 28 weeks. So I have 3 weeks from today to wait....

Anybody know how long it takes to get results?

Glucose tolerance test is usually done between 24 to 28 weeks so I guess it's falling correct for you hun
I'll add you date to the list x

Babee_bugs and Sil how did the test go hun??

I had my 3 hr test yesterday at 8 am and am still waiting on results. I felt pretty sick during the first hour but it got slightly better after that. Overall not a great experience but I'm glad it's over. I just called to see if the results are in yet and they said likely later this afternoon or tomorrow.

Hi Ladies, just a little update from me.

I had my 2 hour Glucose test yesterday... Apparently got told whilst there, that its pretty pointless in doing the GTT at 16weeks, as it never shows up, I'm better off doing it at 26weeks, but yet my consultant has insisted i take it at 16 and 24weeks???

So anyways, i was told that if i didn't get a phone-call yesterday or today... Then I'm fine.

I haven't received a phone-call or heard anything, so I'm good!
