8734227 tn?1405101066 I just received a message from my dr office saying my levels were high in my one hour glucose test.. I tried to call them back as soon as I got out of work but the office is closed till tomorrow. . I know that I'm going to schedule a 3hour test.. my question is what do I do until I get my next test? What food should I stay away from? What foods would be best to eat? This is my first pregnancy and I don't want to harm my baby!! Any advice will be greatly appreciated! !!

Avatar f tn 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?
10219953 tn?1426171839 Ericaponder...that's good to know, I'm not a huge carb eater. I think I'm psyching myself out for the test b.c I don't like to drink stuff for tests.
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 ?
Avatar n tn t say for sure it was a response to the test. The fact that your levels are fine is a good sign that you may get through this pregnancy without the gestational diabetes. But even so you may want to do an occasional blood test to make sure. You sound like you are very on top of the situation and I'm sure your doctor willkeep an eye on your blood sugars also. I wish you good health and an enjoyable and succesful pregnancy.
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 My 1 hour glucose test levels were elevated so now I have to do the 3 hour test. My Mom had gestational diabetes with all three of her pregnancies so I figured I would probably have it also, but I'm scared! I'm reading about all the increased risks for my baby and I can't help but feel bad/guilty about it even though I know there's nothing I can do to prevent it. I'm just hoping I pass the 3 hour test and don't have to deal with it. Anybody else going through this?
Avatar n tn You can have the test between 24 and 28 weeks gestation. Usually at 28 weeks for first pregnancy and with no known history of diabetes. It tests for gestational diabetes which is a strain that usually reverts after you'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.
231441 tn?1333892766 Regardless of the results of your glucose test, you should continue to keep an eye on your blood sugars during your pregnancy because you are at higher risk of developing gestational diabetes given your history. You will stil need to gain adequate weight to nourish your baby, but you should aim for about 25-30 pounds during the pregnancy and not too much over that, so that you can limit your chances of having abnormal glucoses during the pregnancy. Hope this helps. Good luck and take care!
Avatar n tn between 70-126 is the number range that many doctors use. But this is for fasting glucose levels only. After meals, it is normal for glucose levels to rise above this, and the numbers quoted as 'normal' vary, depending on which doctor you talk to. I have read that a number of about 140-150 is considered healthy for after-meal sugar levels.
Avatar f tn they take your blood a total of 4 times... you have to fast until the test and they take it for fasting levels... then you drink the drink within 5 minutes and every hour up until 3 they take your blood... if you fail 2 or more of those blood sugar levels you have gestational diabetes. ..
Avatar f tn Was curious if anyone knew why exactly the doctors ask you to pee for every doctor visit? They already know im pregnant, so its not a pregnancy test. What exactly do they test the urine for though?
Avatar f tn My doc just called and I did not pass the 1-hour glucose test so now I have to go back for the 3-hour! Has this happened to anybody? Anyone know what happens if I have the diabetes you get with pregnancy? Ugh!
7566904 tn?1394763978 Can I eat some cookies tonight. My glucose test is tomorrow.
Avatar f tn I had my one hour glucose test today(I drank the Orange) and they gave me 5 minutes to finish the drink and after finishing I got really tired! I can barely keep my eyes open. Has this happened to anyone else?
Avatar n tn Hello ladies have any of ya skip or went to do the glucose test at 25 weeks I hate it I don't want to do it
Avatar f tn I was given the two hour gtt but failed it. I was never given the option for the three hour test. My Dr sent me to a nutritionist in hopes of controlling my blood sugar with diet. I have to check my blood sugar 4 times a day and so far no medication has been needed.
Avatar n tn Yes because I'm pregnant and my 1- hour test was not good. I tried to take the three hour glucose test but vomitted the mix.
Avatar f tn I am 29 weeks and just got the call that I failed my glucose test. This is my third pregnancy, and my first time having to deal with this because I failed the test. I passed with both my boys, so I was confident I would tgis time too I have also been measuring one to two weeks larger, which now has me curious if the two are connected. I suppose my question is, have you ever failed the second three hour test? (So not looking forward to taking it) If so, what was next?
Avatar f tn While I was in the room with the medical assistant, she told me the doctor want her to check my blood because I have high glucose levels in my urine. She said I could be pre- diabetic and etc. So when the doctor came in she said your blood is good. No diabetes, I asked her was it in my urine and she said you don't have diabetes. My Mom has type 1. And I'm scared. I have these symptoms and can't make sense of this?
Avatar m tn I had a full blood check up last week and my glucose levels came back as high for a morning reading at 9.2. I had some more tests today including a fasting test and a hba something or other. My question is soe this now mean i have diabetes. I am very much a night person regularly up til 4 in the morning and eating and drinking before i go to bed. I am white, not over weight and have no family history.
Avatar f tn Im nervous for my glucose test..honestly I've ate a lot of sugary foods during my pregnancy, and it makes me nervous.. Any advice or something I can do from now until Thursday that could lower my levels? I'm not entirely sure on what I'm supposed to do tomorrow or Thursday, when my Dr was explaining what I had to do he got called in to deliver and couldn't tell me what to do..all he said was to stay away from pop and carbs what do I have to do Thursday? Can I eat???
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 ..
Avatar f tn So I had my glucose test done. My results Came back to 137 and my doctor said I failed. I went back yesterday to do the 3 hr one and I am soooo nervous. I get my results tomorrow. Did you all pass the glucose test?
