m 32 weeks preg i went for my chk up and they found some sugar in my urine and also some UTI. i had my GTT at 28 weeks and it was -ive which means that i hve nt developed Gestational diabetes. I cant understand that if my GTT ws -ive y did i get sugar in my urine now? The annoying thing is the sample i gave to the hospital for further investigation they have no results for it in their system. So now i hve to go again in two days time to get it chked again till then i will be in agony.
Did your doctor order a GTT? If you get a GTT, make sure you get a 6-hour GTT, not the 2-hour GTT used to diagnose diabetes. Do you ever check your blood pressure during these episodes? Some people have hypotension and actually need medication to keep their blood pressure up. You might want to get a BP kit. You can also get a finger-stick glucose kit pretty cheaply and do your own GTT.
Till now I have no history of either diabetes or hypertension. I am 26 weeks pregnant and have to undergo glucose tolerance test (GTT). It is usually advised to take the test early morning as metabolism falls in afternoon due to diurnal rhythm. My problem is that I have an upside routine for the past 5 months, I sleep during day around 8-9 AM and wake up at 5-6 PM in the evening. Can I take my GTT in evening, I assume that my biological clock is now set according to my sleep cycle?
Has anyone failed 1-hour GTT and had to take the 3-hour test??????? Did you pass the second time or fail????
I failed my 1 hr gtt and passed my 3 hr with flying colors in my last pregnancy. I wouldn't worry too much about it (easier said than done, I know). As for the iron, I just had to take an over the counter supplement twice daily. I could have gotten a prescription, but otc was much cheaper.
Sitting in the doctors waiting to do the GTT. Bored.. and they're so late doing this I'm almost 31 weeks, surely that'll effect the results?
Searching, I found you and am excited that there is a group that may actually be able to answer some of my questions. The first thing he wants to do is put me on solumedrol for 5 days, I am not currently in a flair. Any reason I should put myself through that if I am not currently having symptoms?
I know steroids can make you susceptible to infections, but has anyone developed a UTI on solumedrol? I had the unmistakable first inklings of one a bit ago. I rushed out for cranberry juice and a blueberry smoothie (blueberries are supposed to have the same effect as cranberries, and it's a good excuse for a fruit smoothie!!) and I'm hoping I can keep it at bay this way, but I guess I'll know in a few hours. These things tend to come on fast for me.
Hi,
I took a OGCT – Oral Glucose Challenge Test during the 27th week of my pregnancy and the result was 153 (borderline was 139-140). Now I am advised to go through Modified GTT test (3 blood samples in 2 hours).
I am very worried about the results of Modified GTT test.
Please let me know what I should do if the Modified GTT test results also come more than normal...

dont do the 3 hour GTT for diabetics but the 4-hour GTT for reactive hypoglycemia. Your blood is taken after a 12-hour fast. Then you are given a glucose challenge (a sugary drink), and your blood is taken at one hours intervals for for 4 hours. The test itself is really a pain but I am happy I did it. It turns out my blood sugar drops extremely low after meals and this is accompanied by heart palpitations.
My understanding is that HgA1C tells you what your glu has been for the last few months, so you need not check it very often. The 2 hr glu tolerance test (GTT) will be abnormal up to 2 years before an abnormal HgA1C, so the HgA1C is NOT a good screening test for diabetes. Please ask the lab how to prepare for these tests. Sounds like you may not be doing them right.
Treating your anxiety will definately help your ability to do the lifestyle modifications that Dr. Ramsetty recommended.
I had a 4 day Solumedrol drip and then step down pack in February and it made me worse. All my muscles tightened up and I have more pain than I did before. Call it a major fibromyalgia attack. Even now in May, I am still as stiff and woozy as i was after the glucocorticoid therapy. Sigh. Did nothing for me that I can tell.
I did sweat a lot during the treatment so maybe i lost a few toxins?
t help, so I had the 3 day mega dose IV solumedrol. I did not do the tapering off pills, because I was having a reaction to the medicine. Since the end of February my ankles are swollen everyday, all day. I asked my neurologist, and she said it is a side effect of the solumedrol. Any one else experience this.....swollen ankles for so long? When will they return to normal? Help please.
Thank you.
I am currently being treated with 1 gm Solumedrol once/month. I had a three day course last spring and felt AWFUL afterwards. I did eventually feel a bit better overall, so maybe it was worth it. Even the one day dose makes me feel pretty lousy. My sx actually seem to get worse for a few days afterward!
I'm not dx, but symptomatically fit the diagnostic criteria (we'll see what the 3T MRI has to say...
