gestgational diabetes

[:'(] i failed my i hour glucose test. The cut of was 140 and i got a 144 I didnt even eat anything in the morning.I have to go for a 3 hour test sometimes this week. Is 144 high? I already have high blood pressure and on meds 2 times a day and asprin. This is the last thing i need.

 Dang, if I would have had your office's cutoff, I wouldn't have failed! I failed mine too, with a 139 -- their cutoff is 130. I'm doing the 3 hr one on Wednesday. Ideally it should be under 120. 

That stinks.....Sorry

 I just found out that I got a 143. The doctor will call me tomorrow to tell me when I will need to take the 3 hour test. Lovely.

seems to be heaps of failures lately I have hardly heard of any passes I went for mine today it wasnt to bad the drink was ok did you guys eat normal and drink normal afterwards I was a bit scared cause of all that sugar and was a little scared to drink my cranberry juice. I just hope I pass as I really need to keep taking my cranberry juice to ward offn the uti and stop my bladder getting sore from the baby jumping on it I have tried the sugar free doesnt seem to work so might have to go to the capsules if I dont pass pregnancy can be quite a confusing time what to have what not Im sure you will have better luck with the 3 hours test

 I think almost everyone fails the 1 hour one, so annoying. I did with my first two... (but passed the 3 hour)

But I cheated this time, didn't eat any carbs or sugar the day before or the day of and the day of, I just ate strickly protein to help the sugar drink digest (test was at 5:00pm)!

Your guy's numbers really aren't that high... so just make sure to 'cheat' to pass your 3 hour one! (And apparently it's not even cheating, as Kara's doc told her to do that anyway... just a little too late  )

We don't have the 1 hour one here, just a 2 hour one. I would so fail a 1 hour one!!

 As my dad is diabetic (despite me having had two pregnancies and never having a smidge of GD) I had to have a 2 hour test before 20 weeks and then another at 28 weeks.  I have no idea if I have passed the latest one.....but fingers crossed all will be ok.

It's a shame they make you do the 1 hour one if so many people fail it.....I can only think they are being super careful?

missy lair Have you got yours back yet I don tknow why they make the numbers so strict if most people fail the first one  i mean with my boys the tests werent routine and I was low risk but I dont think I had it as they were both born  7 pounds 1 and my first boy was overdue so he wasnt big at all

BTW were you guys aloud the toilet I was I was quite shock as I thought I wouldnt be aloud it cheers Tanya

 Yea.. I got my GD results back and I passed. All the nurse said was that they were in the normal range, I don't know what their cut off was... but I did CHEAT, LOL.

But now I have anemia, LOL. no wonder I"m so tired!

how long did it take for you the results I had mine yesterday and havent heard yet my test get down right there at the hosptial that im having the bubs Im a bit scared hopefully i will pass

 You may want to call. My doc said the nurse would call me the next day with my results... and I never heard from her, so I just called her myself.

Just as a glimmer of hope this is my fourth pregnancy and I have failed the one hour 3 of four times with close numbers like that and passed the 3 hour. Good luck!

 I'm going for my 3 hour test in a bit. I'm really not looking forward to this since I've been under the weather for the last few days and now I have to starve myself and get poked 4 times for blood. Not a fun day! I was told I needed to do this within the next week and this was the only appt that wasn't too far away from my home so it will have to do. At least I get my results tomorrow which will be nice. With the first one I had to wait a few days.

 Welp, I officially have gestational diabetes. I'm not surprised since I am insulin resistent (borderline diabetic), my father is a type 1 diabetic and within the last month my weight jumped but my diet and exercise has not changed from the month before. So yeah, I'm disappointed...bummed...but not surprised.I go pick up my little finger poker dealio tonight and speak w/the diabetic nutritionist next Monday and we will see if diet helps after 1 week. After that 1 week I meet up w/the perinatologist.

I've had kind of a lame week and just want the weekend to be here now! 

Anyone else have good/bad news from their tests?
