Failed My Glucose Test UPDATE

Re: Failed My Glucose Test UPDATE

  • @sarahufl I've heard that only 1/3 of people who fail the 1 hour test are actually diabetic, so I'm not too concerned. Of course, PCOS is supposed to make you insulin-resistant, so maybe I *am* slightly diabetic.

  • Pregnancy #1: I was put on bp medication. About 14-15 weeks,  my urine dip showed sugar, so Dr. Ordered the 1 hr. I failed by like 20-30 points.  I cried. I took the 3 hr. I failed.(not by much, a few points, but still failed) I cried. I sucked it up,  ate pretty much exactly how I usually do, but tried to be conscious of what I was eating. My readings were literally always perfect. 

    Pregnancy #2: No bp meds needed. Because of prior GD diagnosis, Dr ordered 1 hour around 16 weeks. I failed, but passed the 3 hour. No GD. 

    Pregnancy #3: I imagine they will have me schedule it again around 16 weeks. 

    FX for good results on your 3 hr!
  • @Ladiebug30 Thanks! My results came back surprisingly good/low, so I guess I'm not diabetic (yet). 

    Fasting: 77 ... 1 hour: 140 ... 2 hour: 104 ... 3 hour: 56
    The 3 hour result is a little concerning, but is probably an outlier.
