Hi, ladies. I have been away from these boards for most of my pregnancy but wanted to pop in and seek some advice. I found out on Thursday that I failed my one hour glucose tolerance test. Total bummer. So I have to make an appointment with the lab for the 3 hour test.
Here's what I'm wondering: I scored a 142 on the test, whereas 139 would have been passing. So I was 3 points away from passing. Do a lot of people pass the 3 hour test after failing the 1 hour test? Since I was pretty close to passing the 1 hour test, are my chances of passing the 3 hour test pretty good?
Thanks for any insight you can provide. I hope you are all doing well.
Re: Failed one hour glucose test
I miserably failed the one-hour test. I wasn't even close to passing. However, I passed the three-hour test with flying colors.
Try not to worry about it. Odds are you will pass the three-hour test. Remember to bring a good book!!!
Not to repeat what's already been said, but the same happened to me. They didn't tell me what my 1 hour results were, just that they were "abnornal" and I needed to go for the 3 hour. The first time I went for the 3 hour, after not even 20 minutes, I threw it all up. That made me nervous - I figured that was almost a guarantee that I had Gestational Diabetes - but they sent me back to try again and thankfully I kept it down with no issues that time.
In the end, my initial "fasting" results were great, my first hour results were pretty high again , the next hour was in the "normal" range and by the third hour, I was actually pretty low (54).
In summation - Very possible to have high results and NOT have GD. Good Luck to you!!
