Avatar f tn I had blood work Done and my doctor said my blood sugar levels were high I had to do a one hour glucose and my blood sugar levels were still high 164 to be exact. I was told that now I have to do a 3hr glucose. I'm only 5w3d has anyone out there been Thu this or is going thu this.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately I scored too high on mine so I had to do the 3hr test and was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes :( great thing is I didn't require medication (guess I wasn't that bad). I had to see a nutritionist for a low carb diet and check my blood sugar few times a day and do NST and scans each week. I'm 5 weeks in the diet program and baby and I are doing perfect. He passes everything and is growing well.
Avatar f tn So what are the signs of pregnancy diabetes, I took the glucose test but no results cuz I couldn't hold it down, so I hope i dnt have it.
Avatar f tn Its a blood test that they do to check to see if you have gestational diabetes. Everyone has to take it. They give you a sugary drink and you have to drink it within 5 minutes, then after an hour they draw your blood. The drink can make you sick though, it made me very sick!
Avatar n tn I found out i failed today too
Avatar f tn I failed my 1hour GD test and went back for the 3hr test which wss a nightmare.
2169899 tn?1354674056 Because it being high even before drinking it can of course indicate gestational diabetes, but the 2nd test will tell you for sure. Did they mention being worried about your BP being high? They may monitor that as well.
Avatar f tn Sorry to hear:( hopefully u do better on the follow up 3hr test. I didn't, and this Gestational diabetes is such a stress to deal with! Good luck mama!!!
Avatar f tn I'm doing my 3hr glucose test right now as well. I had GD with my last pregnancy.
Avatar f tn So I'm about 10 1/2 weeks pregnant and I had my 1 hr glucose test done yesterday and I just got a call back this morning telling me my sugar was at 252 after the 1 hr. I know that's high. But I am not diabetic. Now I have to go in for a 3 hour glucose test in a week. Could this mean I will be diabetic through this pregnancy? I'm just worried now.
9232406 tn?1406122419 / so I have to go back on Wednesday to take a 3hr glucose test. Has that happened to anyone and ended up passing the 3hr glucose test..?!
Avatar f tn Is this the glucose tolerance test they do to test for gestational diabetes? Just did my 3hr one this morning. Don't remember it being that bad with my first but the drink made we want to gag this time!
6674791 tn?1396215150 So I just found out that I failed my 3hr glucose test earlier today (my test was yesterday). I have an appointment tomorrow morning but I just wanted to know what's in store for me? What is the next step that they take with my pregnancy?? I am 29 weeks and this pregnancy is very hard on me.
Avatar f tn s definitely going to increase your chances of developing gestational diabetes. Which is bad for you and baby. Ive never fasted for a glucose test and always pass mine by like 30 points before what you need to pass. Just friends on the Person what your sugar normally runs which for your sounds like prly higher bc you don't eat healthy. So id suggest changing your eating habits before it's too late. Plus all the crap isn't good for the developing baby either.
Avatar f tn I have gestational diabetes. This is my second pregnancy. I am having to take meds and test my sugars 4 times a day. The meal plan they put me on really isnt that hard to follow. If you just stick to what they say you shouldnt need the meds. I just have issues with my sugar in the mornings when I wake up and that's why I have to take meds. hopefully all will be good with you. Just listen to your doctor and dieticians.
Avatar f tn It means there is a CHANCE you have diabetes while being pregnant but it will most likely go away once u give birth. The risks are mainly that you will have a big baby and there are a few other risks. Most outcomes are good so dont stress. Also, most people that fail the 1 hr test, end up passing the 3 hr. I always fail the 1 hr but pass my 3 hr test with all my kids. Eat how u normally do EXCEPT, the morning of the test, do not eat a high calorie/sugary breakfast.
12476392 tn?1433685731 I learned my blood came back abnormal for the blood glucose test and now I have to go in for a four hour test to test for gestational diabetes. I'm worried about my baby I read on Internet that it could cause all kinds of problems for him.
Avatar f tn I failed my one hour. Had to take a 3 hour and my second hour was high, they determined I'm glucose intolerant but do not have gestational diabetes. Which means having to cut sugar and be put on a 2000 cal a day diet.
Avatar f tn Then in an hr they draw your blood to see if youre handling digesting sugar fine or if theres a chance for gestational diabetes. If you fail they do a 3hr test where they draw blood once an hr. If you fail that, odds are you have gestational diabetes.
Avatar f tn I called My glucose test and had to go back today for the 3hr test. ... I've gained close to 20lbs so far I'm 30 wks...
Avatar f tn It's to test you for gestational diabetes which you can get when your pregnant if you don't maintain a good diet. I took mine at like 28wks, you just drink the Orange drink which tastes like orange crush soda, sit for an hour then they take your blood and your done. Mine took like an hour and a half and I didn't have to fast, just don't eat or drink anything with sugar before your test because it will throw off your results and you'll have to go back in for the 3hr test.
Avatar f tn Me w my first. I skipped it last time and probably will again.
Avatar f tn I had my one hour gestational diabetes test today. Please think good thoughts that I passed it. I really don't want to have to do the 3 hr test. The stuff they gave me wasnt bad at all. Not even really overly sweet. Made wiggle worm do a lot of kicking. Lol.
