im a bit new here too but i think ive gotten the hang of it. somewhat. haha. well i didnt even know there was a 1hr test until recently. my doctor scheduled me straight for the 3hr test.

I have my one hour test coming up on Tuesday and I am anxious about it. I would really rather not fail it so I do not have to do the 3 hour, but part of me is resolved that I will have to do the 3 hour.  It seems like a lot of people fail the one hour and pass the three hour test.

 

Regarding your ticker, did you just paste the code into your message? I do not think it works that way. If you go to the "my bump" tab then to "settings" on the right hand side of the screen you should see a tab come up mid screen that says "avatar and signature".  Scroll down and there should be a box to put your code in for your tickers. Then "save my signature". 

Hope that helps

Do you know what your score was? I have seen people in the 180s still pass the 3 hr.  The 1 hr is just a screening which catches something like 20% of people.  Then only 3-4% fail the 3 hr and actually have GD.

I just took the 3 hour today after failing my 1 hour. i don't have the results yet but it wasn't too bad. I fasted for 12 hours (7pm to 7am) and went in for the test at 7:30am. They let me sip water which definitely helped when I felt a little nauseous so I recommend that if they let you. Definitely bring something to occupy yourself otherwise you will sit there and look at the clock the whole time. I felt a little nauseous but never felt like vomiting. My doctor recommended bringing a high protein snack to the lab to eat as soon as the last blood draw is done to prevent my blood sugar from going too low. I had string cheese and then went out to lunch. I'm relieved it's over. I definitely anticipated it being worse than it really was. Good luck!
