2nd Trimester

What qualifies as a failed 1hr glucose test?

I had posted earlier that my doc is having me use a glucometer to determine if I will continue on Metformin.  I have done 3 tests today:

fasting: 94

breakfast: 128 (I probably had over 100 carbs--V8 V Fusion is 43 alone!)

lunch: 124

I know the 1 hr is different, but what number is a "failure"? 

Re: What qualifies as a failed 1hr glucose test?

  • Usually it's over 140, but it depends on your OB. 
  • I had GD with DS. ?I remember fasting had to be under 100, and I'm pretty sure the 1 hr number had to be under 160. ?I know for sure my 2 hr number had to be under 140.

  • I had gd with ds. My fasting number had to be below 95 & my 1 hr had to be below 140.

    eta: My fasting number was usually somewhere in the 70's. 1 hr numbers were usually in the 100-120 range.

    These are very high goal numbers.

    Typically, a one hour post-meal goal for GD is <140.  Two hours post-meal goal is usually <120.

    Fasting should be <95.

    The One Hour screening cutoff varies by doctor.  Mine requires a number (after the glucose drink) of under 140.  Some are more or less aggressive.
