Glucose Screening

jennp1979

I know a lot of us are going in the next couple of weeks and some have gone already...how did your 1hour test turn out?

You need an option that says passed the first test but still have to go back for 2+ hr/fasting test.    Too bad it doesn't give the option to vote for more than 1 choice!

Eek sorry I didn't know that could happen...sorry

So a random question to build off of this: are you supposed to fast before the 1 hour test? I have mine first thing Wednesday morning...

Ylvelill

I didn't fast. I passed.

Thanks, @Ylvelill‌!

I have to go to the 2hr automatically.  For my previous pregnancies my office just did the 1hr, but my new ob sends everyone to the 2hr

My doctor said, "technically, it's a non-fasting test, but it would behoove you to fast" 

jnnfrrose6

I was told I didn't have to fast.  

Also, I don't know my results yet, so no voting for me...how long should it take to get results?  I assume I'd hear something if they needed me to come back in since it's been over a week now.

@lolahawaii I didn't have to fast for the 1 hour. My appointment was at 4pm so there is no way I would have been able to anyway. I just stopped eating around noon and everything went well.

Both clinics I've done this at said just to not eat anything sugary before and try not to eat within an hour of the test.  I had eggs (protein) and took a zantac about 45 min before because I knew the drink would make me sick and  or give me heartburn if I went in on an empty stomach.

I failed the one hour screening and have a three hour testing tomorrow.

No ss option, but I am going straight to the 3 hour because I failed then passed last time with my son as well as with this pregnancy at 10 weeks

mrscurlygurl

Can't vote as I'm a SS too. They lost my 1 hr results, but since I had it with my first and had been taking fasting levels with this pregnancy for a while, they decided to have me skip a re-test/the 3 hr and start testing 4x a day. Now I'm on Glyburide and officially diagnosed as GD.

I was told to eat  but nothing with sugar. Was told "eat eggs and toast"

 

edit: Just got my results, all  was normal

Just had my 1 hour this morning - it was fasting (they said to fast 4 hours, I just went first thing this morning), and I'll get the results either this week or next Monday at my OB appt. Hopefully I dont have to take the 3 Hr!

kmawb

I just did mine this morning (1hr) and was essentially fasting for it (nothing but a Baby Bell cheese this morning just for the protein and water, plus my anti-nausea meds).  I did pretty much the same thing last pregnancy for the test and passed no problem so we'll see how thsi time goes.

ETA: Got my results this morning (Wed. April 9) and I passed - bring on the Easter candy nom nom nom...

I've passed two 1hrs so far. I have another one next Saturday. I have to take so many because I had GD w DS so they want to keep checking. I hope I pass this one too!!

BettyBoop86

I failed the 1 and 3 hour test. I have gestational diabetes and have started checking my blood sugar and trying to keep it diet controlled.

bewilderingstar

I failed my 1hr and I fasted for 5hrs. Got the 3hr one coming up in a couple weeks. 

ETA my smiley face icon was wrong, lol

SS - my office has everyone do the 2 hour test.  I did it on Friday and the results went to the office on Saturday.  They said they would call on Saturday if I failed and I didn't receive a call, so I assume it was fine.

Glitzyklm

I just had mine about three hours ago. Non fasting. Waiting for results. They said no news in good news, so hopefully my phone doesn't ring today

nola 1017

Mine is on the 16th.  I passed the 1 hour test with DD so hopefully my luck holds out for this baby too.  My test is at 8:45 AM so I'm just going to wait to eat breakfast until afterward.

This is me. Passed with DS and haven't felt differently this pregnancy so not expecting a call.

LyndseylovesHugh

I don't have mine for a few more weeks, but last time I failed the one hour by one point and had to do the three hour. I passed the three hour with no issue.

Fletch82

Well I just got the call that I failed the 1hr test by 2 points. Now I have to go in for 3hr test - no fun

beccaxrad

I'm assuming I passed the test. I took it Friday, I'm not sure how long it takes to get the results. No news is good news!

ksspiff

SS - I failed my one hour so completely, I'm declared GD without the three hour follow up.
Last pregnancy, I was fine.

iris427

SS--my doctor gives everyone the 2 hour.

alohababy14

I was shocked that I passed the first time. I was convinced that after almost 10 years of being on Metformin as a PCOS treatment, and then stopping after week 18, my body would be thrown off. But it all worked out!

hupp0013

I passed my first 1 hour test with DD. I liked how the doctor did it this time. He did wait a couple of weeks later than the first time around. I got to drink the glucola at home an hour before my appointment so I knew my results right away.

LilyanaG1

I had my 1hour glucose test and felt awful the rest of the day. I got my test results and now I need to go back for the 3 hour one. Honestly, I felt worse yesterday after taking the test than I have in a long time! Not looking forward to it. Is it really all the accurate? I read that a really high percentage of women fail the first time and then end up being fine on the second one. It feels like they are messing with us! All it's made me do is feel worried/stressed out! I have been eating really well and exercising.

TurtleMonsters

I haven't had this one, but the last one I failed the 1 hr passed the 3. DO EAT, DON'T FAST! OB told me to do that. In fact, my plan is to eat protein a bit before the test, and stay away from other things that cause insulin spikes. IDK if it tests the insulin spike of drinking the juice or if my plan will actually do any thing, but if it does work, having stuff that takes a long time to digest would counter act an insulin spike from the drink.

Did the one hour Tuesday, didn't fast beforehand (I think I had an English muffin with PB for breakfast but I can't remember) and just found out today that I passed.

Cherisestevens

Failed the 1 hour miserably today!! Normal range is 70-129 I had 167. Doc said I can take the 3 hour or just skip it and assume I have GD. Since I had it with DD, I probably have it again anyways.. Kinda bummed!
