Failed 1 hr glucomse test - 3 hr test tomorrow

in Pregnant after 35

The doctor's office called this afternoon and said the results from the GTS were abnormal.  So, I go for the oh so fun 3 hr test tomorrow. 

I'm not confident at all that I'm going to pass. 

For those of you who failed the 1 hr but passed the 3 hr what was your level?  Mine was 176 and should've been in the 140's.

    hi Shannon,

    Sorry, this just happened to me last week :(  My level was 161 at the one hour.

    If you can I would wait until Friday to take the 3 hour...my Dr. had me eat a 300 grams of carbs per day for three days prior to taking the 3 hour...

    It worked, I passed.

     Good luck.

    My 1 hour was 151, they told me to take 150-200 carbs for 3 days prior to test, I have been diagnosed with GD, just when I starting enjoying ice cream.Tongue Tied It's been going good.

    I hope that your test goes good tomorrow the hardest part is not drinking anything during the test.

    My 1 hour was 152 and I failed the 3 hour also.  The GD diagnosis is serious. I was very careful to keep my blood sugars down while pregnant which was hard with the holidays. I thought the only thing to worry about for the baby was large size and she could be hypoglocemic(sp) at birth.  I was wrong.  Teagan has elevated red blood cells due to GD.  If they stay high,  she is at a risk of a stroke.  To help her, we have to bottle feed her every 3 hours to keep her extremely hydrated. I have to pump so we can measure the exact amount of fluid she is getting.  She was almost hospitalized Sunday to do IV treatment but her count was down 1 pt. It's been a very emotional week.

    GL.  I hope you pass the 3 hour.

    Shannon, I'm sorry to hear about your test results. Just wanted to say GL and, if you do have GD (which I sincerely hope you don't), then it's best if they catch it as soon as possible. It's not a nice diagnosis at all, but it's better if monitored and controlled. So testing tomorrow is a good thing - no matter what happens, your OB is being careful and looking after you.

    Good Luck!

    My numbers were different, but I was diagnosed 2 days before Christmas. It was the hardest over the holidays, but now that I know the diet, it is going better and controlling my blood sugar is getting easier.

    I hope you pass!!

    I hope your daughter gets well really soon. Thank you for the information, they generally just let you know about the larger size and low blood sugar at birth.
