Avatar n tn I insisted on another test. They did another in office test (fasting again) and I came back at 180. So they sent me for a 4 hour glcose tolerance test. Again it came back "normal" they did not share the results with me they left a message on my phone. I asked for a glcose moniter to test over time and they assuerd me I was fine and polietly refused. So bought one anyway and took my blood sugar after waking up, 1 hr after breakfast, and at 4:30 every afternoon.
Avatar f tn Kelsey your talking specifically about the fasting glucose test. The one she is speaking about is when u drink that crap that taste like watered down crap lol I had to do both of them so I know about the fasting one as well.
Avatar n tn without any glucose. I underwent a fasting blood glucose test which showed a level of 5.3 mmol/l (95.4 mg/dl). today on testing my urine about 30 mins after 250ml of coke and 3 sweet biscuits there was NO glucose in the urine. Can anyone explain why the first test was positive?
Avatar f tn I have my glucose test in a few weeks and myidwife said I have to fast as from 8pm the night before and that im only allowed to drink water
Avatar f tn I have a glucose test in the morning & I am very nervous this is my first pregnancy I guess that's why I really need advice...
Avatar n tn I had this happen with my first pregnancy. They are serious about not eating anything and I did eat a little something hours before the test. So, do complete fasting if you didn't. I took the shorter test and failed and then had to do the 4 hour test. Came back normal/ no problems. Try not to worry.
11195379 tn?1427921527 I failed the 1st test. I was fasting. Passed the 3 hr test.. Fasting as well.
7155150 tn?1392091954 On 3rd pregnancy my test is usually scheduled around week 28. 22 weeks now. Never had bad experience but the "juice" is nasty I usually gety the orange soda flavor. Also, first time around no one told me it was not a fasting test so I didn't eat breakfast and spent 4 hours in the hospital starving. Eat beforehand but obviously not sweet foods.
Avatar n tn Where about are you? In Australia you can have a blood test if you can't tolerate the fasting. I did it with my first pregnancy and passed out in the waiting room and was low risk anyway. This time OB happy for a blood test only. I'd do it again if I had risk factors but it's pretty cruel for women with morning sickness and low blood sugar levels in my opinion.
4989104 tn?1365648962 thats odd... usually they're only an hour... is it the initial test? Glucose peaks at 30 mins to an hour and you normally don't have to fast unless your original test came back abnormal. Double check because if theyre making you wait two hours then that's not accurate.
915119 tn?1341948989 if i fail the one hour test, then i have to go for a three hour fasting test, pretty much the same as the first test i took today but a little longer and no eating beforehand. i have a really cool doctor that explained all this to me as this is my first baby and had no clue why this was necessary.
Avatar f tn I took my 1 hour Blood Glucose test over a week ago and I got the results back and I failed. I believe average is 69-139 and my levels were a 159. What are the chances that I can pass my 3 hour fasting blood glucose test? Diabetes runs in the family and I'm kind of worried?
10909590 tn?1416437106 Heyy mommas, since most of us are done with the 20 week scan..next is the glucose test....arghhh.....are url ready? Im not lol..just the thought of not eating for an hr + *****.
875426 tn?1325528416 A glucose tolerance test is in order. Sounds like your parent does have some indications that could mean diabetes. However, if it is early lifestyle measures as mentioned above should be very helpful in managing it.
Avatar f tn That's crazy that so many women on here said their drs said not to fast. I've seen 4 different obgyns and all sais for the glucose test is a fasting test. Maybe that's why I see so many women on here saying they failed their test? I've never heard of not fasting for this test tho crazy!
Avatar f tn You shouldn't be fasting before the glucose test.. I was just told today to eat breakfast before I come in, and then once I drink the stuff I can't eat until after the test.
5038920 tn?1405637908 I'm about to have my test in about two weeks and my doctor didn't say anything about fasting so now I'm confused if I need to or not.
Avatar f tn Or was this test of protein and glucose in urine from a regular non pregnancy exam?
Avatar n tn When we do a blood test in the morning, just as we wake up, we call that a fasting blood test. It is common for our fasting numbers to be a little higher than at other times of the day, as has already been explained. Perhaps you can find some good books written in your native language to help you understand some of the many small details of this disease.
Avatar f tn In France the glucose test lasts 2 hours, you are all very lucky yours only lasted 1 hour. I'm doing mine now.
Avatar f tn In going for my glucose test tomorrow and I was wondering if it was OK to eat before the test or not. I have heard it was ok but I have also heard that you shouldn't because it will mess the test up. What should I do?
Avatar n tn I am a 53 year old white male with a history of heart attacks/ CABG and was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My current test results dl/mg: Morning fasting 91-125= avg 109 Two hour post meal 112-130= avg 121 Before dinner @ approx 6:00 pm nothing to eat since lunch 77-90= avg 82 It appears that the results are OK other than the morning fasting. Could this be the "morning phenomenon"?
Avatar f tn Anyone know much about Glucose numbers? I had a test and they said number came back high and want me to retest. I asked what number was and they said 113. I asked them even after eating and that is high . .nurse said yes and come retest. All research I find says 113 is within normal to low range for after eating . . . anyone know anything on this?
Avatar f tn Did anybody else have to get the three hour glucose test done? If so did your doctor also tell you not to eat anything for 12 hours? Just wondering, can they legally make you get the three hour test done? Cause they said I was only a little bit either high or low, I can't remember but I know it wasn't that bad. So I'm wondering what would happen if I just didn't get it done.
