"Failed" my GD test :(

I was above the normal range but not in the "diabetic" range, so upon my request my doctor is sending me to have the two hour test done.  I have to fast for 10-12 hours before it and they usually schedule them in the mornings because of that.  Well, the only appointment I could get (to have the test done and results back before we leave for Hawaii) was at 2 in the afternoon when I called the booking call center.  Thankfully the woman at the actual clinic was super nice and told me to just come in as a "walk in" and to get there about 15 minutes before they open and I should get right in.  

I could use some serious vibes that this one turns out all ok.  Apparently all my snacking on berries and watermelon (the highest sugar fruits) would be a no-go if I am still in the high range - that's what all my "cravings" have been :(

Re: "Failed" my GD test :(

  • Oh no! Lots of vibes that the 2 hour will go well for you.

    I failed my 1 hour also, but passed the 3 hour. Don't worry too much :-)

  • Vibes to youuuu!

    I too failed my one hour, but passed my 3 hour. My best advice is to bring a snack to eat when its all done -- the fasting plus high sugar drink made me dizzy by the end.

  • Try not to stress, although I know it's easier said than done! I failed my 1 hr as well with a 162 (cut off was 140). I passed the 3 hour though without any problem. I've heard the 3 hour is way more accurate. Good luck!

  • Thanks guys.  I don't really know how they do it here, it sounds different.  My number was 9.2 and I think anything over 7.8 she said is considered "high", but they don't get too worried unless you are above 9.2

    We also don't have a three hour test, it's just a two hour.  And I had to kind of ask her about it and if I should do it.  She was just telling me to "watch my sugar intake".  Kind of frustrating.  I'm crossing my fingers that I just had a fluke high blood sugar that day for some reason.

  • I too also failed my 1 hour but passed my 3 hour. I failed my 1 hour by a lot too, I dont remember the numbers but it was kinda like go red sox. My best advice is bring a snack for when your done with the 2 hour. Also I felt really nauseous after about 30 minutes after I had to drink the sugar drink and I found going outside helped.  Good luck

  • That is no good :( On the brighter side, I know plenty of people who have 'failed' the first test and then passed the second one. 

    I was the exact same way with my cravings. I craved nothing but blueberries and raspberries and ate either of the two every single day while they were in season. I would have been really cranky without them. Sending you lots of vibes!!

  • Oh man... that sucks. Sending some vibes your way for good results on the 2 hour test!

    I really hope they can get you in early too. That would be really annoying to have to wait until 2. :(

  • It doesn't seem uncommon to fail the 1 hour test and pass a longer one... hope that's true for you too!
  • Ugh, that stinks! Major pass vibes to you.

  • Sorry to hear about this! I'm sure this stress is not what you were hoping for, right before your fun vacation! Sending lots of vibes that you pass the 2-hour test with flying colors!

  • I'm sorry! Lots of vibes that you pass the 2 hour!

  • That stinks that you have to go back.  Hopefully you will get in sooner rather than later.  I'm sure you will pass this time around!  Good luck!

  • Good luck! Berries are the best, it's hard not eat them when they are in season (pregnant or not!)
