Glucose test

Well I failed my 1 hour glucose screening so I'm going in for my 3 hour glucose test tomorrow morning. Wish me luck! The worst part will be getting my blood drawn the 4 times :(

I hope I pass this test otherwise I'll be diagnosed with gestational diabetes and won't be able to enjoy all the yummy treats I'm used to!

Re: Glucose test

  • Oh no!!! I'm sorry Kristen. From what I've seen, about half the girls fail the 1 hr on my local board and most pass the 3 hr. I'm sending good thoughts your way.

  • Ugh that sucks Kristen. I would send out good thoughts that you pass. I can't even imagine being pregnant and having to watch what you eat!
  • I'm sorry, Kristin.  But I'm sure you'll do well on the 3 hour test, even if it's incredibly uncomfortable thanks to all the withdrawals. Sad  When you pass, I think you deserve a big piece of chocolate cake!  (Or maybe more of that Orgasm Cake your mom made!)
  • Oh no Kristin, I'm sorry to hear that. Here's hoping that you pass the 3 hour test with flying colors!
  • The same thing happened to me and I passed the 3 hour.  Just make sure you bring something to read or to keep you occupied.  ALso, keep track of the time yourself too.  If I wasn't paying attention, they forgot I was there.  (FWIW, I had to go to the hospital for the test, not my regular dr's office).

     Good luck and if you are worried about the blood draws, ask if they have the children's size needles.  I asked for those and found out that I didn't bruise as much, if any from those.

  • Oh no!!  I'm sure you'll pass the 3 hour, like Kristi I've heard alot of people that fail the 1hr pass the 3 hour.  Take lot's of good gossip mags with you!!

     

  • I'm sorry, all that sounds awful.  A 3 hour test, all the blood being drawn and possibly no sweets!  Hope it goes better this morning!

  • I hope you pass the test!  Keep us updated.
  • I really hope you pass, my friend just had a baby and she was diagnosed with GD for about the last 8 weeks. She said the diet wasn't great, but not as bad as she thought it would be either. I hope you don't have it though!
  • It wasn't too bad...but to anyone that has to take a glucose test in the future I suggest trying to get the lemon lime drink. It was much better then the orange one I had last week.

    Hopefully I'll hear back about the results in a couple of days. Thanks for wishing me luck!
