I am going to take my 3hr tomorrow morning. I had GD with my first pregnancy, so I am preparing myself that I will have it with this one.

This time around I failed the 1hr and passed the 3hr. I only failed the 1hr by a few points though. I have to do the 1hr again in a couple weeks since I did them early.

For those who had to take the 3 hour - what was your score ont he 1 hour - mine was 150, and i have no idea what that means other then they want you under 130

Mine was 170, my doc wants it under 140.

They said they wanted it 135 or lower and I was 143.

I am already GD and testing my blood 4 times a day and on a strict low sugar and low carb diet, so I do not have to take insulin. I am controlling my sugar levels with the diet.

What I was told is if 2 of your scores on your 4 blood draws are over the 130 then they say you have GD.

I failed the 1 hr on Friday and took the 3 hr today and passed!

Were you the one who wasn't told you were going to be taking it before hand? That's just wrong, IMO. My doc told me at my last appointment.

Don't fast thought. She also told me that can be as bad as eating too much sugary/carby items. Maybe because you need something to help soak it up? IDK. That's just my uneducated guess.

I passed my 1 hour this morning. All I ate for breakfast was a piece of sausage and an egg with water to drink. I'd recommend something like that.

that is me! i will be fasting the requisite 12 hours for this one

I also failed...mine was 153 and they want 140 and below. So I will take the 3 hr on Friday and they told me to fast for at least 8 hrs.

Good luck! I also failed the first and will be doing the long 3 hr tomorrow.

To prepare me for it (?), my doc put me on this special diet (2100 calories with specific things to eat and times) from Mon-Wed. The diet is actually helping to curve my urge to eat BUT, hope hope hope to pass this next one so I can have different types of food and snacks.
