I Failed my 1 Hour Glucose Test! :(

Sigh - I had such hopes of passing, but with PCOS and a diabetic father I think I was kidding myself by thinking it would turn out well.  My doctor said the cutoff was 140mg and I came in at 157mg.  I wanted to put this into context, and so I found this chart online which shows based on your 1 hour results, how many women ended up having GD with numbers in that range:

One-Hour Screening Result	Percentage of Women Diagnosed With GD
140-145 mg/dl	18% had gd
146-150 mg/dl	20% had gd
151-155 mg/dl	30.5% had gd
156-160 mg/dl	34% had gd
161-165 mg/dl	34.4% had gd
166-170 mg/dl	29% had gd
171-175 mg/dl	45% had gd
176-180 mg/dl	55% had gd
181-185 mg/dl	41% had gd
186-190 mg/dl	67% had gd
191-195 mg/dl	67% had gd
196-200 mg/dl	64% had gd
201-225 mg/dl	85% had gd
226+ mg/dl	100% had gd

Looks like (according to this research) I have a 34% chance of having GD - so there is still hope!

I had the test yesterday morning and was told I would not find out until Wednesday afternoon but I just got a call a few minutes ago.

I failed too but they didn't tell me how much.  I have to go in Friday morning for my 3 hour.  Good luck on yours!!!!

Did you eat breakfast before your test? I know our labs requires fasting even for the 1 hour because it cuts down on the amount of false positives so maybe it's possible it had something to do with what you ate that morning?

Good luck to you on the 3 hour!

Try to stay positive, you might not have it at all and if you do the diet is manageable.

Good Luck!

I failed my one hour with a 148 and then went on to fail the three hour as well   GL!

I'm going in for mine on Thursday and I'm kind of nervous.  I'm sure you'll do fine on your three hour test.

i think i was in the 140 range w/ DS and ended up failing the 3hr too.  so i had GD.  i'm losing hope that i'll pass the 1hr this time since i've been testing an hour after i eat and i'm in the 140's again.  ugh. 

GL!
