Failed 1 hour Glucose...PASSED 3 hour!!!!
Yeah, I passed my 3 hour Glucose test. I think the only reason I failed my 1 hour was because I wasn't required to fast...but I was required to fast for the 3 hour and the results came back normal. What a relief!
So for those of you who have also failed the 1 hour there is hope for the 3 hour!

Re: Failed 1 hour Glucose...PASSED 3 hour!!!!
Good for you! I have my 1 hour on Thurs, and I fully expect to fail. Seems like every single person I know who's had to take it fails that, but then passes the 3 hour.
I do have a question for you, and anyone else who's had their tests.... Do they normally tell you to fast before the 3 hour or at least avoid certain things?
I talked to my OB's nurse today and she recommended that I only eat protein (eggs, chicken, etc) the night before and again that morning. Wouldn't that kind of skew things in a way that isn't realistic to your diet? I mean, I will be eating carbs and sugars and things other than just protein for the rest of my pregnancy...
Thoughts?
I wasn't given instructions on what to eat the day before my test. If I were you I would eat normal but avoid eating extra sweets/candy/desserts the day before. (Also I wished I had fasted for the 1 hour because I'm sure I would have passed.)
(For the 3 hour test) My OB's nurse told me to fast for 12 hours before the test. My test was at 8:30 am and I did not eat after 8:30pm the night before. Actually, I did have water, but I stopped the water at around 11:30pm. You will get hungry, but just remember that good/accurate test results are worth it!
(For the 3 hour) Be careful what you eat after the test. I had a half of bagel and a cup of chicken noodle soup and threw it up. My body was in shock a little bit from having no food so I ended up eating saltines and jello for the rest of the day (I felt pretty crappy). You are going to want to eat everything in front of you, but take it slowly and eat plain stuff and slowly get the sugar/carbs back into your system.
Good Luck!
I'm glad you passed!!! Yay!
And I thought if one took the test in the A.M. that one should fast after midnight, but if one took it in the P.M. then fast for a few hours?
BrideBuddies, I hope you're wrong and that you pass.

Good to hear you passed.
BrideBuddies, I thought I would fail my one hour, too, because of my nightly addiction to ice cream
But I passed just fine. They just told me to avoid eating anything sugary in the morning so I had toast and peanut butter instead of my normal yogurt, cereal and fruit. It won't skew the test. GD has more to do with genetics and other factors than just diet.
