Common Questions and Answers about Glucose plus glucose
glucose
Usually after 20 weeks. Doctors like to make sure people go because if you have it, you may need to take insulin and if you don't it can have negative effects. Plus if you test positive your baby may have a higher birth weight and they will want to keep a closer eye on baby's development.
It's okay that you posted here since you mentioned the possibility of having hyperthyroidism and we are a thyroid community... You could also try posting your question in the Women's Health community, as they will know more about current birth control substances than I do since it's been 40+ yrs since I tried to take them. You could also post in the Diabetes community.

t say when to go, I'm currently 23 weeks and 3 days.
I just did mine last week..
I falied both my 1 and 3 hour test :( both times my glucose levels were high. So I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Are u scheduled for the 3 hour one?
That's the thing, I don't eat after midnight, I've only gain 4 or 5 pounds. And I made sure not to eat anything today. I just don't understand lol. Hopefully I'll pass the next one.
I had exactly the same, I had to go as my mum had gestational diabetes when she was preggo with me and my brother, its a boring wait and I won't be taking my partner if I have to have it again! All he did was moan that he was bored and tired lol MEN!
Have any of you ladies ate alot of sugary things & ate unhealthy during pregnaxy & went to go take the glucose test & failed it bcuss you ate too much sugars during pregnancy & gained diabetes? Can this even happen? Lol I'm a ftm & iknow ur suppose to fast before going to take it. But has this ever happened to any of you ladies.
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!
Diet is very important because PCOS is related to blood glucose issues and keeping blood glucose steady is very important. When you eat food that increases blood glucose your pancreas produces large amounts of insulin, which is often called the "fat storage" hormone. Whatever food that increases your blood glucose levels and isn't used for immediate energy is shuttled, by insulin right into fat cells to be stored for later use.
So I have the glucose test in 3 weeks everyone is saying how horrible it is. Is it that bad?
In your first thread I mentioned that the FDA set manufacturing guidelines for home glucose meters at ± [plus/minus] 20%. This means your 70 mg/dl reading could be 70 mg/dl or it could be as low as 56 mg/dl or as high as 84 mg/dl. Home meters give an approximation not a true reading of glucose levels. Since your 100 mg/dl reading two minutes later falls out of this range, the questions remaining are:
1. How old is your father's meter?
2. Do the test strips have an expiration date?
3.
I have a glucose test later at 4:30 & I'm kinda scared of the drink. Lol, I have to drink it all in 5 minutes but I think if I do that I will throw up! Any tips for that? Also I choose the lemon lime flavor & was just told that it was the worst /: there's also orange & fruit punch. Should I switch it?
I'm so nervous for my glucose test . It's in 2 weeks. I just hope I pass.
