glucose

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.
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 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.
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?
10754687 tn?1412548611 Is a gestational diabetes glucose test necessary in pregnancy?
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 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 f tn About when do you have the sugar test? This is my second pregnancy and i cant remember!
6403762 tn?1381712518 I have my glucose test in mid January and my doc said I had to fast. Most of the time you need to..I wouldn't eat just to get accurate results. If your doc said you can eat, then I'm sure it'll be ok to have crackers or something.
Avatar f tn I have a glucose test in the morning & I am very nervous this is my first pregnancy I guess that's why I really need advice...
Avatar f tn Kelsey your talking specifically about the fasting glucose test. The one she is speaking about is when u drink that crap that taste like watered down crap lol I had to do both of them so I know about the fasting one as well.
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 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 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.
10909590 tn?1416437106 Heyy mommas, since most of us are done with the 20 week scan..next is the glucose test....arghhh.....are url ready? Im not lol..just the thought of not eating for an hr + *****.
Avatar f tn i have my glucose test on wednesday - is there anything i should or shouldnt eat? should i fast?
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 Was told just not to drink a bunch of pop before the test. So I ate like normal but just cut out my morning pop. With my last pregnancy I forgot and drank a pepsi before the test and still passed. I had a friend that did fast and failed the 1 hour and had to do the 3 hour test.
Avatar f tn Please can someone explain to me what exactly is this glucose test all about.
10219953 tn?1426171839 I have my test next week. Passed with my first test with my first pregnancy so hoping it's the same this time, it's been 9 years tho so my fingers are crossed. Hope everything turns out fine for you!
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.
360318 tn?1340393363 i've had gestational diabetes in my previous pregnancy and will be tested twice this time, first test came back normal but i need to be tested further along. The drink wont cause harm as a one off but they do need to check how your body reacts to it, its more dangerous not to give the drink and potentially let someone who HAS it go misdiagnosed following no specific diet or care for GD.
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.
