I failed the one hour Glucose Test! Updated! But passed the 3 hour!

Now I have to go back Wednesday to take the 3 hour one! The nurse said this is common and most people that fail the first one pass the second. Has this ever happened to anyone???

I just called and they said I was fine! Thank you all for you advice and support!

ME TOO! I just got the call today at work, that I failed also. I can't go back until the 28th for the 3 hour, so I have to wait awhile. I think I read somewhere that 20% of women fail the 1 hour. Oh well, let's hope we pass the next one!

I had GD diuring mt pregnancy and my advice for the 3 hour is briung something to read .. it is a looong morning. You have to take it first thing after dating for 24 hours..But i have to say that having GD was a pain the checking my blood 4 times a day was a pain but it actually stopped me from gaining any more weight...

So good luck and if you have any ?'s let me know


Just so you know that drink for the 3 hour tastes like Sprite with ytons of suger in it

I failed my one hour as well, and the 3 hour was LOOONG. I ended up passing that one... but it was torture. After the first blood draw, they make you drink the drink- which is 10 times as sugary as for the one hour. Then my blood sugar spiked, I thought I was going to puke and pass out. I had to go outside for some fresh air. After the first hour, I started feeling back to normal. Have someone go with you to drive, you don't know how you might react... and you won't have eaten for a while.

Good luck!

I hope I pass this one! She told me it was slightly high but not too bad. DH is a Dr. and works with diabetics all day. He is driving me nuts that even if I pass this second one he doesn't want me eating ice cream anymore. The one thing I crave is a reeses sundae from Friendlys! But anyway, they told me not to eat anything after midnight tonight and I have to go tomorrow morning at 9am. Lets hope we pass Mishy! Thank you MSCJKL!

Good luck tomorrow! Remember, have someone go with you. I am sure you will pass. Don't eat too much sugar today either.

I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour. I felt fine and didn't think the drink was that bad.

Good Luck I have my test next week..... I hope the 3 hour gives you a big negative and you can eat Ice Cream, my dh is a doc as well and a bit too overprotective so I can relate

Re: I failed the one hour Glucose Test!

I find out today at 12 if I passed or not. It really knocked me out though! I felt fine when I was there but a few minutes after I left I practically passed out! Thank God my Mom was there to drive. I guess from not eating and then drinking all that sugar. They take your blood 4 times in 3 hours! I went home and slept for the rest of the afternoon! Thank you all for you well wishes! I will let you know as soon as I find out what the results are.

Congrats! I am so happy for you! I just took the 3 hour today, so I now have to wait until Monday, and hopefully the doctors will call me then to let me know if I passed too.
