1813627 tn?1337722375 a blood glucose test is normal when you first see the doctor around 8 to 10 weeks if your doctor thinks you have a risk factors for gestational diabetes such as being overweight. I am overweight and the doctor does 1 for me at 8 weeks and then again later on at the normal time. also your number could have been high if you didn't fast the night before.

4182046 tn?1355820039 When I get my blood drawn I never look, I just look up or the other direction. It helps alot to do that because when I got my blood drawn for the glucose test I didn't even feel it, the needle was so thin.
Avatar f tn I'm 21 weeks pregnant. Had some blood work done today for the first time. Had 7 samples drawn and fainted on the last one for a couple seconds. Is that normal, has that ever happened to any of you guys?
Avatar f tn I would do a blood glucose test ... The glucose test they administer to pregnant women is dangerous ... I took my test via blood and they got a clear result I'll send a link here exposing the horrible glucola drink ... http://foodbabe.
Avatar f tn I wasn't told beforehand. They just decided to have me do it lol. But I didn't eat anything sugary at all that morning so I was okay.
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 f tn You can eat before hand. You just got to choose what ou eat very wisely. Nothing sugary as i was told.

Avatar f tn I feel stupid that I have heard, read, known nothing about a glucose test? When do you get it? What happens? What do bad results mean?
Avatar n tn I am 23 wks preggers and last week I saw my consultant, who has said in mid sept I have to have a glucose test. I have low blood pressure all the way through pregnancy, high BMI because I am overweight and the consultant put me on clexane injections daily. Can anyone tell me why I have to have this glucose test and what it's for please? I have had a poor diet because of bad sickness. I was losing weight up to 3-4 months preggers and I still have sickness now just not as bad.
Avatar f tn Yupp, I just had mine done, yesterday
Avatar f tn re a healthy weight. It is called the one hour glucose tolerance test because your blood is drawn one hour after drinking the glucose drink. If you fail and have to do the three hour the draw your blood first, make you drink the drink, and then draw blood at specific time intervals throughout the next three hours. The purpose of the test is to see how your body responds to and processes a large amount of glucose.
Avatar n tn What is this glucose test I keep hearing about? I'm 25wk and I've not done it.
Avatar f tn ) I have been ordered to take a first trimester blood glucose test to check for diabetes early. I cannot tell you how awful it is to be here, empty stomach fasting, and have to drink that syrupy stuff when I'm still in the throws of 1st trimester nausea. Trying not to throw up. But already dizzy. If you did a 1st trimester blood glucose screening, how did yours go?
Avatar f tn You will be fine I had the orange. It tastes like an orange soda at first and then u start to feel nauseas. It tastes like sugary **** at the end but you have to force it down otherwise they won't do the test. The blood test wasn't that bad. And I'm normally a huge baby & faint when getting blood drawn. Haha. Anyways I went out to eat right after!!!!! I was so hungry.
1209036 tn?1299178657 During this second test, called the 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test, your blood glucose level will be tested four times during a three-hour period after drinking the cola-like drink. If two out of the four blood tests are abnormal, you are considered to have gestational diabetes.
10219953 tn?1426171839 I have my test next week. Passed with my first test with my first pregnancy so hoping it's the same this time, it's been 9 years tho so my fingers are crossed. Hope everything turns out fine for you!
Avatar f tn So When You Get Any Test Done Will They Let You Know If They Find Anything? Im 28 Weeks Now And I Have Not Been InformedAbout Anything To Do With My Blood Tests.
Avatar f tn Only 14 weeks pregnant why so early for the sugar nasty test lol...couldn't hear the heartbeat but monitor picked up 150 heart rate ...
Avatar f tn I would suggest that you see your doctor and get an A1c test performed. This is a simple blood test that measures your glucose over the past three months. Why? New red blood cells live an average of three months. Excess glucose binds to these new cells and this test captures that. Doctors use this test to determine whether you are diabetic or close to becoming one. Your results will be presented in % (percentage) where <6% (lower than) is considered good/normal.
Avatar f tn I just got told last week that I have diabetes. I still have my bread and soda. I just watch how much I take in now just not going crazy like I use too. It's not bad or the end of the world. Just watch when you take your blood what does make your numbers go up.
Avatar f tn I just got home from by blood glucose test and feel really sick and tired. Is this normal? Does it mean something is wrong?
Avatar f tn I'm so pissed my doctor sent to do a blood glucose test gave me instructions not to fast and now that I got here the nurse told me I have to fast for it to be correct... like what the f***... has anyone had to take that 3 hours test cause of not fasting??
Avatar f tn Turns out I have gestational diabetes (readings were slightly elevated) where I now have to monitor (prick and test) my blood glucose everyday until baby arrives. ***** because it makes me stress about eating anything carbohydrate. My baby somehow was on track but I since being on this new diet baby measured 3 days smaller than supposed to.
