s/o glucose tests

susieandmarty · February 2011

my doc has not mentioned having this done at all. if it was not for this board, i would not even question it. as far as i know my urine, blood work and everything else has given no indication of any issues - but will i have this anyway. anyone else not have this mentioned by the doc?

Both DH and I have a family history of diabetes. Is it a non-issue in your medical history? Maybe that's why it wasn't mentioned (in conjunction with your regular testing not showing any abnormalities).

When is your next appointment? Maybe it is scheduled and they just forgot to mention is.

My doc mentioned that I would be taking mine at the next appointment (28 weeks). Perhaps your doc will be giving you your test around that time too.

My OB didn't recommend this test until 28 weeks, 27 at the earliest. For my practice it is standard to do this test.

I'm pretty sure everyone has to do this. I haven't had any other problems with bloodwork/urine either.

my next appointment is March 7 - so I will be about 27.5 weeks. Maybe they will mention it then, i will be sure to ask if they dont. I have no history of diabetes on my side

my next appt is March 3rd. I am guessing she will mention it then. I will be about 26-27ish weeks.

my appointment today was the first time my dr has mentioned it.

I'm doing it next month (at 27.5 weeks). He said I didn't need to do anything special, that I could eat breakfast like normal, he only mentioned it so I would know that I'm going to have to stay for an hour.

This. I asked my midwife if it was something everyone does or if I was just doing because of other results or because I'm over weight. She said it was standard procedure.

I just did mine today....it was the yummy orange drink. I took a book to read so I wouldn't get bored in my hour wait. I hope I get a good result!

They'll probably mention it then. My doctor mentioned it for the first time at my appointment last week.
