Barely passed glucose test

Barely passed my glucose test, so now what? What does that mean I should do ?

If you passed, you passed. Continue to healthy, balanced diet throughout your pregnancy.

Agree with PP. If your doctor didn't tell you that there was anything specific you needed to do, just keep doing what you're doing.

same here- then 4 wks later my doc decided I need another one as a precaution. Just be ready that it could be a possibility.

Ask your doctor. I squeaked by both pregnancies. I chose to do a GD diet just to be on the safe side.

Did you fast? The one hour tests without fasting are not that accurate. Everyone I know who ate at all before, failed. Myself included. Then we all passed the two hour that requires fasting. My numbers were so far below on the two hour test it was ridiculous. I do love ice cream right now, but I eat healthy 90% of the time, work out and have no medical history, soooo I'm not going to change anything. I wouldn't worry too much!

I fasted before my 1 hour and failed. I asked my OB if it mattered or not, and she said that it really doesn't. Passed the 3 hour overall, but my 1 hour number was still too high. The 1 hour is the 'screening test' and a lot of people who fail it wind up passing the 2 or 3 hour just because they need a little bit more time to process that huge amount of sugar.
