Failed 1hr GD test

dcoughlan · September 2011

Just found out that I barely failed the 1 hr GD test and now have to go for the 3hr test. Did anyone have the experience of failing 1 hr, but then passing 3 hr? Just curious?

I failed the 1 hour but passed the 3 hour, fingers crossed for you that you do too.!

I felt that the first hour of the 3 hour was the worst and then it wasn't so bad (besides being stuck there). If you start not feeling well, you can ask for ice chips or if it's not too far to go outside for air, do that. Going outside and getting fresh air made me feel so much better (before that I literally called my husband crying because the drink made me feel so weird).

Also, bring something to eat after you're done, you will be hungry! Good luck!

Thanks so much. Going to take the test tomorrow, so I can find out sooner than later

Will definitely bring some food for afterwards. Thanks again!

I failed the 1-hr GD test (technically, I passed it, but my doctor uses a lower number for passing people on to the 3-hr). Either way, it was borderline.

Anyway, I passed my 3-hr with flying colors.

I failed my 1 hr too, but passed the 3 hr, and my doc said my numbers for the 3 hr were perfect. Yes, take something to eat when you get done! My nurse did tell me to fast after midnight, so I went in early, but no one told me (until I got there) that there are 4 blood draws for the 3 hr test. One baseline when you get there, and then one every hour. Just thought I'd mention it, since I wish someone had told me. Good luck!

I failed the 1 hour by 5pts so just took 3 hour Monday. I was a tad worried as have heard people don't feel good during first hour of thes test, but really it was not that bad. I got the lemon lime flavor and it was ice cold so helped going down. It made the boys really bounce around which was funny to watch my belly move so much!

After they drew blood for the 1st and 2nd hours they allowed me to have a cup of water, which was heaven after fasting before the test. If you can take the test first thing in the morning, it is easier on your system as you will be done in time for lunch. I brought a protein snack tray from Starbucks to eat immediately after, (crackers, cheese, hard boiled egg, fruit) so was not too heavy on such an empty stomach. (edited for spelling)

I got my results yesterday and passed no problem. GL...you'll be fine!!

Yup! I just BARELY failed the 1 hr test. I ate really good that week before my 3 hour, all chicken, and vege's (not sure if that actually mattered or not) but passed the 3 hr with flying colors

I also failed the 1hr...I think my score was 129. I did the 3 hour a few days later and had no problems at all....I was thrilled to get the call that all was good.

Yes, I failed the 1hr & passed the 3. If you barely failed I bet you'll be fine. Good Luck!
