7062464 tn?1395341888 For me I knew the next day and was told I had to do the 2 hour test which I failed as well and again was told the next day.
12208248 tn?1424755226 Yes it does vary depending on your Dr but according to the National Institute of Health the glucose screening is generally done between the 24-28 weeks unless you have glucose in your urine which the Dr usually tests every time you are in and if you have an abnormal glucose screening or 1 hour test then you go on to the glucose tolerance test or 3 hour test. If anyone ever has questions www.nlm.nih.
Avatar n tn t fast (have not eaten for 8 hours or more), you must had a random glucose test done. they do have guidelines to tell what number is high. if your glucose level came up to be a bit above normal then you might be considered prediabetic. prediabetes means you you have a chance of being diabetic if you didn't change your eating habits, exercise and so on. If you start to incorporate healthy lifestyles, then you would have a chance of being normal again. hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Who has taken the glucose diabetes test? How did it go? I'm kinda nervous what if I do come out positive for it . Did your pregnancy still continue normal and did ur baby have any complications ?
10754687 tn?1412548611 Is a gestational diabetes glucose test necessary in pregnancy?
Avatar n tn ve had your baby but it can mean you have a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. It is a very simple test. You fast for 12 hours over night then go for a blood test to find out your sugar levels. You then drink a small bottle of liquid that kind of tastes like hot thick lemonade. Its almost like a sugar syrup and has 75g of sugar. You then sit for 2 hours only allowed to have sips of water and are only allowed minimal movement.
Avatar f tn 1.) Fasting - You do not eat any foods nor drink colored liquids for 8-10 hours. A blood sample is drawn and your glucose level [blood sugar] checked. Normal levels 70-99 mg/dl Prediabetes 100-125 mg/dl Above 126 mg/dl indicate diabetes [hyperglycemia aka Type 2 diabetes] If your fasting levels returns below 70 mg/dl this indicates hypoglycemia [aka Type 1 diabetes]. 2.) OGTT [Oral Glucose Tolerance Test] - You drink a sugary liquid then tested in 1 hour intervals.
Avatar n tn Yes, a complete random blood test would surely have shown high glucose levels, for glucose counts are one of the most common things tested in random non-specific bloodwork. Do continue to talk to your doctor, though, about symptoms that aren't normal, and be specific about what they are.
3156712 tn?1354121665 Just came in to the Dr to get my glucose test done diabetes runs in my family so I'm freaking out...has anyone had a test that came bck positive for diabetes while pregnant? What did you have to do or change?
Avatar f tn I hate them poking my fingers. They asked me if I wanted to get blood drawn from my fingers and I told them to stick it in any vein in my arm but the fingers. I much rather be poked 50 times in the arms than have my finger poked once. I failed my first glucose test as well and I had eaten two tacos from taco bell like 30 minutes before the test so I think that's why mine came back high the first time. I passed my 3 hour glucose test do I'm glad for that.
Avatar f tn Yupp, I just had mine done, yesterday
Avatar n tn In the US, the doctor may ordered a clean urine catch to coincide with a fasting blood draw or an OGTT [Oral Glucose Tolerance Test]. If you are concerned about diabetes ask for an A1c test [Hb1c, HbA1c] which is used as the standard tool to determine glucose [blood sugar] control.
Avatar f tn Im almost 20 weeks n dr. Set up glucose test for next appt. Really worrying about it since both my mother and grandmother had gestational diabetes...plus when I had sono yesterday baby weighed 11oz which according to some websites is above average although dr said it was fine.
1209036 tn?1299178657 t like soda and it was way too sweet for me, but I woThe oral glucose tolerance test is used to screen for gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that can develop in some women late in pregnancy (usually after the 24th week). Women who develop gestational diabetes do not have diabetes before becoming pregnant. The oral glucose tolerance test involves quickly drinking a sweetened liquid (called Glucola), which contains 50 g of glucose.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much all for your reply
Avatar f tn I'm so nervous for my glucose test . It's in 2 weeks. I just hope I pass.
Avatar f tn Depending on your numbers from your first one, you might be able to talk to your doctor about going straight to being treated for gestational diabetes without a 3 hour confirmation test. That would involve a very strict no-sugar diet and weekly blood tests through finger prick to monitor your blood sugar levels. If you're asking can you just ignore failing the first test and go on as before, no, that's not a good idea.
Avatar n tn Glycemic control A1C <7.0% Preprandial plasma glucose (before a meal) 70–130 mg/dl (5.0–7.2 mmol/l) Postprandial plasma glucose (after a meal) <180 mg/dl (<10.
Avatar f tn Is it okay to drink water while you are fasting for the glucose test? This is going to be a long 12hr...
Avatar f tn I too have to take the 3 hrs test tomorrow. had failed the 1 hr test by 34 points. I hate sweeets and diabetes does not run in our family at all!! :( Reading all your posts makes me feel little better. If diet and excercise are the only things that would be added to my daily routine, i dont mind! But the 4x testing everyday sounds little scary.. but i am sure mommies can accept all the pain and trouble for the babies..
Avatar f tn I'm doing my gestational diabetes test tomorrow an I'm not looking forward to it all. I'm not worried about it. If I have it, I have it and I'll deal. I'm just dreading drinking the yucky stiff and having to sit in the lab for a couple hours.
Avatar f tn If you fail the glucose test means you have gestational diabetes thats what the glucose test is for
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what exactly the glucose test tests for? I had mine yesterday and I got an email saying I passed it! Which is great! But I eat sugar everyday! And I see people posting that try failed it but they always eat healthy and blah blah they could be lying but what does it test for?
360318 tn?1340393363 If you are a diabetic trust me they wouldn't give it to you. They're only testing for gestational diabetes that only occurs during pregnancy then goes away after the baby.
1891853 tn?1344648442 If i fail, does that mean i have gestational diabetes? Or did the test just not work right? i did the 2 hour test yesterday and have to wait til my doc appointment next week to find out. I heard some people have failed it and had to do the,3 hr one. So what does "fail" mean exactly?
