I took the one hour glucose test yesterday, they called with the results today and I failed. My levels were 144 and the office uses 130 for the cutoff. Now I have to do the 3 hour at my next appt in 2 weeks and it sounds like no fun.
Did anyone have similar levels to mine at the one hour and pass the 3 hour?
Re: Failed the 1 hour-Boo and a question.
I failed the 1 hour and they didn't tell me by how much they just said alot... I passed the 3 hour though! Also they gave me the results on Monday and I did the 3 hour on Friday... They said to eat "good and better" starting Monday until Thursday... So I cut out alot of carbs and eating candy and snacks etc... I have no idea if it made a difference but I passed!
They are giving me a sheet of what to eat for 3 days prior to the test. Thanks I feel much better now!

I failed the 1-hr w/ 165. I passed the 3 hour w/ much lower numbers, even though the glucose was a higher concentration.
The first hour I felt queasy, the second hour tired and the third I just wanted to leave - I was hungry!
Also, they let me sit in my car which was much nicer. I could squirm around and whine a little to DH
And I think the walking between the car and the office probably helped process the sugar a little. It's probably not normal to tank up on sugar and then sit perfectly still.
Anyway, GL! Most do pass the second time. I hope you're in the majority!
