I had GD with DS and I failed the 1 hr so badly they just put me on the diet and I had to test my sugars a few hours after each meal. I'm going to take the 1hr test again this week, I'm sure I'll fail again.
Oh and just because you failed the 1 hr doesn't mean you'll fail the 3 hr. Do the diet and hope for the best. If you do end up with it it isn't so difficult. I ended up not gaining a lot of weight, you know, no cankles or retaining water. The only crappy part was testing the blood sugar. I was able to control mine with diet and exercise, some people have to take drugs to control their blood sugar.
With my second child I failed the 1 hr and had to do the 3 hr but had passed that one, I think I will probably fail this one too, which is no fun, but it is what it is. Good luck and I hope you pass the 3 hr. cause I had a friend on the diet and have to take meds too. She said it was not much fun!
I failed the 1 hour too. Took the 3 hour on Friday and am waiting for my results. The 3 hour wasn't too bad...just bring a book to read while waiting. Good luck!

Good luck to you too! My hubby will be off work that day so at least he'll be with me; that should help pass the time...

Did you have to be induced with your son? Was he a big baby? I'm not so worried about testing my blood sugar...I had to do daily injections for the IVF so I know I'll get used to finger pricking too...but obviously if I don't have to do it I'l be much happier.
