Failed one hour, numbers REALLY high?!

BinksMomma3016 · August 2009

So those with GD, what was your numbers from your one hour? Im hoping it was just a poor one hour, but my numbers were really high and I am concerned. I passed with DS so I dont know...Thank you ladies!

My one hour number was 178. It really depends on the person whether or not they turn out to really have GD.

142 and I have GD. I don't know that there is really any rhyme or reason. The NP at my OB's practice even told me she thought I would pass the three hour based on the low number but I failed three out of four draws.

Yeah, I don't think there's much correlation between the 1 hr and the 3 hr numbers. At least not in my case. I was 145 for the 1 hr and failed all four draws of the 3 hour.

Good luck.

I had a 197 when I failed my 1 hour.

what was your #?

At least at our clinic, if your 1hr is over 180 they don't bother with the 3 hr, its an automatic diagnosis.

That being said, my 1hr was 212.... I figure at least I saved myself 3 hrs of sitting in the lab

I failed two one hours - 138 & 170. I went on to fail two of the four 3-hour draws.

my 1hr was 167 with a cutoff of 140, then i failed 2 of the 4 blood draws with the 3hr.

I failed the 1 hour with a lovely score of 213

My one hour limit was 130 and I failed with a 150 and a 170. For the 3 hour test, they didn't even make me finish. I failed the 2nd and 3rd draw so that was enough (1st hour was 184 (should be under 165), 2nd hour was 153 (should be under 145)).

mine was 190something so they didn't even do the 3 hour test, just put me on dietary restrictions and glucose testing.

good luck!

With DD1, I failed the 1hr with a 183 and passed the 3hr with flying colors.

With DD2, I failed the 1hr by 5 points....and failed the 3hr and had to prick my finger 3x a day just to get a normal reading every single damn time with no diet change and no medication.

With DD3, they wanted me to take the 3hr at 12wks. I flat out refused because I get violently ill from it. I agreed to test 2x a day - 1 fasting and 1 after eating. Always normal. OB said I should do the 1hr because, if I passed, I could stop testing. Took it and kept testing. One day, I felt REALLY sick and tested and it was over 200. I called and they had me come in - just to tell me I passed the 1hr, but, because of that high reading, I had to take the 3hr. I said I'd just keep testing, but they said no, I had to take the 3hr because 200 is bad and they need to know if I need medication. Since I get so sick, I had to do it at L&D and I tested myself every hour just for fun and to see if my meter was reading correctly. It was and I passed.
