Avatar f tn So I did my 1 hour glucose tolerance last week and got my results today. Kinda upset...they came back abnormal. They like for the glucose to be under 140 and mine was 164. About 3 hours after drinking the glucola last week my sugar dropped to 42, luckily I'm a nurse and noticed what was going on and immediately checked my sugar and then ate. But anyway...I go back on Friday to do my 3 hour glucose and am so nervous it is going to come back positive too.
8585833 tn?1399748005 I have had all 3 flavors... lemon lime with my first- and they served it warm-- bleh... orange with the 1hr for this pregnancy and (since I failed the 1hr) fruit punch for the 3hr with this pregnancy (failed that one too)... the orange (for me) was the best tasting...
Avatar f tn I have a glucose tolerance test tomorrow & I have not been given any information on or about it. My mum has rang my GP surgery this morning for info and they have told her that i can't have a cigarette after 10pm tonight until I have had my 2nd blood test... is this right? No hate please about smoking in pregnancy I just want advice because surely a cigarette has nothing to do with my sugar tolerance...
Avatar f tn Your doctor should be checking your urine for glucose every time your seen. Also, you should be having a 1 hour glucose tolerance test. If you are within normal limits you won't have to do the three hour glucose tolerance test.
Avatar f tn I had mine done last week and had been dreading it since I got my positive for pregnancy and I wish I hadn't even wasted time thinking about it. The drink was good and I just talked to my husband the whole hour, got my blood taken and left.
6403762 tn?1381712518 Your Dr should have results later that day or early the next. Getting tested for GD isn't bad and if you fail having it is not bad either. You'll just be put on a very healthy diet which is good during pregnancy. It's the cravings that bother most. Just remember who and what it's for and it'll all be worth it.
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.
3530672 tn?1370038043 I found out today I failed my glucose test. I have to go for the 3 hour test know. Im so sad about failing. I was really hoping to pass.
Avatar n tn In the early 90s, I was diagnosed as Extreme Reactive Hypogycemic. Current medical professionals don't seem to know what that term means. I was almost killed recently while in the hospital, because they thought it was regular hypoglycemia and drew blood without giving me anything to eat or drink. I need to find out the current, correct medical term for my condition so that this won't happen again.
Avatar n tn I'm a 53 year old woman who just had a 3 hour glucose tolerance test, here are my results: Fasting - 106 1 hour - 210 2 hour - 230 3 hour - 167 I'm not sure if these results mean I'm a pre-diabetic or diabetic. Thank you for your help in advance.
Avatar f tn Usually around 26-28wks you have the glucose tolerance test. My dr also checks iron and thyroid function at 28wks. At about 34-36wks they do the group b strep swab and they may also do a urine test to screen you for preeclampsia if they think you are at risk.
5864651 tn?1396931970 I was was wondering what the glucose tolerance test involved I live in the uk and have the 3 hour one on the 8th of january im currently 27w1d. All that it says on the letter ive got from the hospital is that its 3 hour and I have to starve myself and only drink water from 11 oclock the night before.
Avatar f tn m going to be 24 weeks tomorrow and I have an appointment for the 3h glucose tolerance test. Its my 4th time since I am pregnant. Just because one of my results was not normal. I wonder why the doctor dont start to treat me for high glucose , instead I have to do this over and over again.... I am so tired of fasting and doing this test.... anyone in a similar situation?
Avatar f tn What did yall eat before going in for your glucose test?
Avatar f tn My due date is 25 may and nurse has suggested glucose tolerance test of three hours.my dr must have ignored this test earlier but now reviewing my pregnancy history they thought about the missing test. I have heard  that this should be around 8 month of pregnancy not now. What should I do? I don't think it will create any effect now if its positive or negative for my health or baby as only 10 days are left.....should I go for it?
Avatar f tn Fast means not to eat...call your dr and ask for directions. I think it is required in US for all preg woman to take this test...
Avatar f tn They should let him stay cuz ull be in waiting room to so they can keep everything moving for other ppl.
