At my doctor's office for a 3 hour glucose test and after making me wait an hour to be seen they tested my fasting levels and said they are too high and I have to reschedule. This *****. Anyone else have this happen?

Well my doctor gave me the one hour glucose test and I failed which is why he wants me to schedule a appointment to take the 3 hour test. He also gave.me a diet to follow for 3 days before I take the three hour test. However I've been following it for the last week to improve my levels because I dont want to fail again and be diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Apparently with the high fasting levels it means that I have Gestational Diabetes. I have to fast again tonight and go back in the morning for them to check the fasting levels one more time to make sure. If I fail which more than likely I will than they have to start me on taking my sugar levels and also taking medication.

Most people pass the test. Have you had any symptoms that you could be? Because I have. It has really nothing to do with sweets. It more how your body produces the insulin. It STINKS!!!!!!!!!
