Avatar n tn Thank you. I don't have too much sugar. I suck mints from when I wake to when I go to bed plus I've cut my intake of pure apple down to just one carton a day. It's a tough pregnancy with this one.
10754687 tn?1412548611 Is a gestational diabetes glucose test necessary in pregnancy?
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 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 ?
8274643 tn?1406141596 I just drank the orange drink for the glucose test now I'm waiting for the hour to have blood drawn. Honestly, from what I've seen on here and how some girls got sick off of it etc I thought it was gonna be horrible. But the drink wasn't that bad! I chugged it though since my nurse poured it over ice. But it honestly wasn't as horrible as some people make it out to be. It just made my girls really hyper lol.
Avatar f tn I had it with my last pregnancy. This time I had to do the 3 hr test twice but luckily I passed. You will have to cut out sweets and watch your carb intake. I would eat several small meals a day about 2 to 3 hours apart snf make sure to only have 1 serving of carbs at each meal. If you are hungry in-between then snack on protein ie: beef jerky, string cheese, chicken chunks, tuna. It also helps to walk 15 minutes after each meal.
6403762 tn?1381712518 With this pregnancy I had to fast. It depends on the test and the doctor. With my daughter I just did a one hour test and with this pregnancy I did a two hour test.
Avatar f tn i have my glucose test on wednesday - is there anything i should or shouldnt eat? should i fast?
Avatar f tn So tomorrow morning im gonna take the glucose test and im pretty nervous because i seen some girls saying they felt like throwing up/super dizzy . Any advice???
8171031 tn?1399327634 2 the reason they took it twice was just to make sure I didnt have gd they took one early in my pregnancy and another later in my pregnancy but there could be any reason for them to be doing it to u again...
Avatar f tn Well, didn't know today was my glucose test, but... I just downed it lol The fruit punch kind isn't that bad. I remember the orange & cola flavors from my first pregnancies & ewwww. I'm waiting now for my blood test. & I gained weight! Yay! Last time I was here I was 183lbs (6wks ago), now I'm 196lbs! Whoop whoop!
Avatar f tn So I'm going for my glucose test today along with other bloodwork at 5 weeks. Anyone else have the glucose test done so early? I'm pretty sure its because of my weight.
Avatar f tn This is my second pregnancy and I am dreading taking this test next week after my experience the 1st time. I remember I couldn't get the drink down fast enough (I like to take my time when drinking anything other than water and don't like shots of alcohol lol). On top of that I literally don't like sugar candy or pop so it was awful for me. After drinking it I felt so nauseous and super dizzy.
Avatar n tn How many of you got a phone call saying your high normal for not having pregnancy diabetes but still want you to do the 2 hour test. For a normal pregnancy is 7 point something and if you have it it's 11 point something. I'm an 8 point something. I only remember the main number. He doesn't think I have it since it's closer to normal but still wants me to do the 2 hour. Who has gotten that call saying your a high normal and your test was fine after the 2 hour.
Avatar f tn right i had a glucose test done over 3wks ago and failed it but the other day they asked me to reshedule another 1 has any1 failed the first then passed the second these r both the three hr test i wud lov to no if this has happened to any1

Avatar f tn Thanks ladies this really is helpful I'm just hoping I'm fine.. I don't even eat sweets an I still work a 8 hour job that keeps me on my feet constantly moving idk what could be going on but I'll update on the 27th after my appointment but my fingers are crossed.

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've always fasted before my glucose test. Didn't eat anything after 10 and I always made sure to book my apts early in the morning g bc you'll have to sit there for about an hour. I suggest not to eat anything until after the test and drink lots of water.
Avatar f tn If you fail the glucose test means you have gestational diabetes thats what the glucose test is for
Avatar n tn hi i am wonderin about this glucose test this is my 1st pregnancy in was wonderin bout the precedure..
Avatar f tn Anyone else being sent early to see about gestational diabetes? This is my first pregnancy, I'm 26, everything looks normal, I'm 14w3d and I'm already taking the nasty one hour glucose test. My doctor gave me the script two weeks ago even, so I was only about 12 weeks then. Thought the tests weren't until about 25 weeks. Any other July mommies doing this already??
Avatar f tn Is It Bad To Not Go For Your Glucose Test ? I Took It The First Time Where You Had To sit There For An Hour .. But Then They Called Me Saying I Failed It & That I Had To Come Back To Do It Again , But Instead Of An Hour .. I Have To Sit There For 3 hours !! I'm Like Extremely Busy In The Morning & The Lab Hours Are 7-3 & They Go On Break At 12-1 .. i Work Almost Everyday At 11am Besides Wednesday & Thursdays , So I Never Actually Have Time To Sut There For Them 3 Hours ..
