Update :30 minutes into my three hour test..Uggggg

So I got a 141 on the 1 hour and my Drs cut off is 138, WTH. I'm pretty sure I did't wait the full hour before I had my blood tested so I f'd myself over I think. I've been fasting since 12am and had a hard time getting the drink down. Now I sit here for 2.5 more hours YAY! At least I have my laptop to keep busy but I'm also seriously considering asking if there's an empty exam room I can take a nap in...LOL

Update: Just wanted to update in case anyone else has to do 3 hour in the future. I know everyone reacts differently but I had no issues at all with the testing, I wasn't even hungry even though I had to fast starting at midnight. I'm tired now, but it's also been a long day, so I wouldn't necessarily contribute that to the test!

i have done the 3 hour before too and had no real issues with it.  Well, outside the fact that 3 hours is a long long time to spend sitting around in a hospital lab.

Glad you made it through it.

What is this test for? 3 hours seems like a loneg time

My results came back totally normal, if you fail the 1HR glucose tolerance test, usually done around 26 weeks, you will be required to do the three hour test, they basically test your blood levels once every hour for three hours to get a more accurate gestational diabetes screening result.
