Upset- 1hr glucose related

So, 4 weeks ago I had my 1 hour glucose test. I thought it had gone well. The nurse told me that they would call me in 2-3 days if  anything was up and if I didn't hear anything back, it would mean that everything was fine. Well I go in for a 4 week appointment and my doctor looks at me and says "Have you done your 3 hour glucose test yet?" and I was like "Do what? I didnt think I had to do that?" She looked through my chart and said "well your 1 hour was abnormal, I thought the nurse called you".  No the nurse did not call me. No I was not aware that there was a problem, and that was FOUR weeks ago. So now I have to go in on Friday for a 3 hour glucose test. I'm so frustrated. I know that failing the 1 hour is not a huge deal and plenty of people pass the 3 hour. I also know that mine was on the low side of the too high range. What upsets me is that they didnt call and no one let me know that something was wrong. Now 4 weeks later I have to get another test, miss a day of work (without pay since it is a workday I will have to take an unpaid leave day...) and on top of that I am exhausted and a little emotional. I just want to go crawl in a hole and come out in December... ugghhhh

Oh and I stepped in a huge wad of gum in the parking lot as I was getting out of my car at the grocery store! YUCK!

  • I'm so sorry the nurse did not call you. That sucks!

    I had to do the 3 hour with DD because I enjoyed chocolate chip cookies too much with her. :o)

    Lesson learned!!

  • That's awful that they didn't call you. FX your three hour goes well! I would have DH take you out for chocolate afterwards. ;)

    Oh and I hate when people spit out gum on the ground. So nasty!

  • @madeline10L I love your siggy, Maggie is BEAUTIFUL! 

    @sgautschi that sounds like a good plan, I love chocolate! 

    I just wish I would have known for the last 4 weeks so that I could have eaten less chocolate chip cookies lol.

  • I'm so sorry! Hopefully, the 3 hour glucose test comes back normal and you can forget about all of this. So sorry your day isn't going very well, but I hope tonight (and tomorrow) is much better.

  • I hope the three hour goes well for you. 

    Don't worry - what you eat doesn't have anything to do with GD :-)

  • I hate when Dr.'s offices communicating skills suck. Mine is kind of like that, I literally have to make them go over results with me because they have no intentions to. Sorry they left you in the dark like that, I know it's frustrating.

  • That sucks they didn't call you!  I hope that you pass the 3 hour with flying colors!!
