GD test- if you failed, did you pass after the 3 hour?

And if you failed, what was your number?

I don't remember the numbers. I don't even remember if they let me know. Anyways, I failed the first test but passed the 3 hour one when I was pregnant with DS.

I failed the first one with a score of 147 (I think 135 was cutoff) but passed the 3-hour test just fine.

I don't know what my numbers were with my daughter but I failed the 1 and 3 hr That was no fun! It isn't fun to have GD, but I think I kept a lot of weight off by having to cut back on a ton on carbs!! I also had weekly ultrasounds to check on her for the last 1-2 months of pregnancy. So on the bright side,I guess you could say there are perks. I would obviously NEVER wish this upon somebody because of health reasons, but if you end up getting it try to focus on the positive

with DD, failed 1 hr (i think it was by a point or 2) and passed 3 hour.  With this one I passed the 1 hr by 1 point, but I passed. I was so happy too, because I got very sick after I left the dr. office.

I haven't had it yet this time but I failed the one hour and passed the 3 hour last time.  I only failed the one hour by a few points.

They didn't tell me my numbers but I literally just found out I failed my 3 hour. I'm pretty bummed and shocked because I eat really healthy and haven't gained that much weight. My OB was pretty shocked too. I know that those factors don't have 100% to do with a GD diagnosis but when you try so hard to eat healthy and you STILL end up with GD, it's a big bummer.  GL

I can't remember my numbers for my last pregnancy. Although I did fail the one hour, and I do know I was "borderline" on failing. I did go on to pass the three hour though. No clue on those numbers either, and honestly, I didn't ask. I was just THRILLED that I passed.

I just failed my 1 hr one this past Friday by 4 pts (mine was 134 and the cut off was 130). I have my 3 hr one this Friday and I hope I pass! Good luck.

I wish I were on the "I passed my GD tests" team, but unfortunately I failed.  Because my dad was pre-diabetic and I was a bit overweight pre-pregnancy, my doctor decided to give me the glucose test in March when I was only 17-18 weeks pregany.  In hindsight, I am glad she did since I was able to start my GD diet sooner and begin to control my blood sugar.

Anyway, back to your original question.  For the 1 hour, my result was 175 (I needed to be below 140).

For the three hour test, my results were as follows:

• 104 for fasting (normal range 60-94)
• 241 one hour after (normal range is below 180)
• 167 two hours after (normal range is below 155)
• 75 three hours after (normal range is below 139)

I'm happy to say that although the diet can be frustrating at times, if you are disciplined enough, managing your blood sugar levels is not that bad.  I am mostly diet and exercise controlled.  I take the lowest dosage of glyburide with my bedtime snack to help with my fasting numbers.  Also, because of the GD diet, I have yet to gain any weight with my pregnancy.  Actually, I am down about 8-10 pounds!  I was worried at first, but I have consulted with my doctor and she is not concerned (she only wants me to gain 15-20 pounds).  She said that I will likely gain my weight towards the last 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. 

I wish everyone that is taking the GD tests the best of luck!

I failed my one hour with my first DS and then passed the second.  My cutoff was 130 and I got a 135 which seeing above is really low and that's annoying.  I passed the 3 hour test though.

I just got my blood taken this morning for this round. I'm hoping I don't have to do the 3 hour test, blah.

Interestingly enough we only do a 3 hour test here--I just did mine today so I don't have my numbers back yet

i failed my 1 hour test with a score of 132, and i also failed my 3 hour test because i got sick before it was over :

my fasting number was 77, the first hour was 154, and the second hour it was 163. since they weren't able to draw blood the third hour i have to meet with a diabetic counselor tomorrow and test my own blood sugar levels at home for 2 weeks...

good luck to you, i hope you pass!

I failed the 1hr with 146ish but my 3hr test was within the normal ranges.
