I was wondering if anyone failed their 1 hr glucose test and if so how high were your numbers ....did you take the 3 hour one and pass or flunk that too. Anyone end up being diagnosed with gestational diabetes? I had an AC1 test that I passed but then flunked the glucose test... my umber was real high and now I have to make a wellness appointment (nutritionist I believe). Any advice? ugh 3 more months.
Re: Any one flunk their 1 hr glucose test
As for advice, I didn't have GD, so this is not coming from my doctor, but I would take a look at your diet and cut out refined sugar as much as possible- pop, baked goods, processed/prepared foods, etc. Of course, sugar is present in whole foods (i.e. fruit, dairy, etc), but generally it is in lesser amounts and easier for the body to process. GL!
As for diet, consult your OB. Unless you have really high numbers, you will likely be asked to adopt the GD diet before meds are prescribed. The diet means small and frequent balanced meals of limited carbs with lots of protein, good fats, and fiber. If you end up needing to follow the diet, PM me and I can provide a list of good meal and snack options to keep things varied. Everyone processes glucose differently so you'll likely need to play around with the diet first to figure out what works best for you.
Passed the 3 hour twice.
It's not over until it's over.
