If you failed the one hour GD test....

BonnieG79 · December 2009

did you fast before it? Did you pass or fail the 3 hour test?

I failed. I had a 143 and my practice considered <140 normal. However, I didn't fast before it and actually ate at the Cheesecake Factory about 20 minutes before my blood was drawn. I easily passed the 3 hour.

I failed the one hour and fasted before it. I really watched what I ate the few days before the 3 hour test and passed it (I had to fast before the 3 hour).

I failed the screening and I took the tolerance test (3 hour) today. I fasted for both. The 3 hour test my Dr asked me to eat 2 candy bars a day for 3 days up until the test. I'm still waiting to see if I passed.

I failed the 1 hour test--got 149. I didn't fast, but tried to eat lightly that day. I passed all parts of the 3 hour test, and my OB had me do a 3 day prep of a diabetic diet (it was mostly protein and veggies and 1 piece of fruit each meal, no snacking--it was TORTURE!! I was STARVING!) and then I fasted after midnight for my 8am 3hour test. I was just relieved I passed!

My doctor said it would be fine to eat a few hours before the 1 hour test, so I did. I failed by 1 point. I went on to pass the 3 hour test with flying colors. I recommend fasting before hand if you can help it.

fail, 142...I didn't know I was supposed to fast before it until I chugged my orange drink and my mom read the bottle...they never told me to. I passed the 3 hour just fine (although it was a pain in the butt to fast before that one-I was starving by the end!)

I failed by 7 points. I was told to eat as normal before it. I passed my 3 hour. I had to do a 12 hour fast for the 3 hour.

I failed the one hour. I did not fast before it.

I couldn't make it through the three hour. I fasted before it and yacked after my first hour.

They did an alternate test and I passed.

My sis and I are pregnant at the same time and see two different OBs. Hers didn't give her any instructions about what to eat or not eat for the one hour but mine told me to fast two hours before the test. It seems pretty inconsistant to me. I failed my 1 hour HUGELY (191) but past my 3 hour with flying colors. Weird.

I failed my 1 hour test with a 159 and I did fast before it. I passed the 3 hour test!

I fasted for the 1 hour and failed with a 181....pretty bad. I fasted for the 3 hour and passed it "textbook perfect" according to my dr....

I fasted for the one hour and failed..plus my baby was measuring huge so they were certain I have GD but the next day I passed the 3 hour...just have a natural large baby lol

Thank you ladies for sharing. I was worried because I did fast for the one hour test and failed. My doctor's office just told me my results were "abnormal". So December 30th I will do the 3 hour test and pray to pass that one.
