Hi all, so I passed my 3 hour test.
My fasting was on the border and is accurate, but unfortunately I feel like like my other results ate fake ones. Within 15 Min of drinking the liquid,I threw up. I didn't tell them since i was just outsid their office. and just went ahead with the blood work
I will try to stay add healthy as I can to avoid any complications, but yeah I feel like i kinda cheated in my test

I hate them poking my fingers.  They asked me if I wanted to get blood drawn from my fingers and I told them to stick it in any vein in my arm but the fingers.  I much rather be poked 50 times in the arms than have my finger poked once.
I failed my first glucose test as well and I had eaten two tacos from taco bell like 30 minutes before the test so I think that's why mine came back high the first time. I passed my 3 hour glucose test do I'm glad for that.

35 weeks here I have gd. The 3 hour test sucked hard bc you have to fast for 8 hours no food or drink. Honestly it's not that bad worst part is I have to stick my finger 4 times a day.

I am 28 weeks as well and due to family history they texted me during week 16 ore so. Blood sugar was 91 so really good. My second test was earlier this week and ie came back to 147 (had a lot of sugar night before). Tomorrow I am going for a 3 hour test.

For the 3 hour one you should fast.  Nothing but water 10 hours prior. Do it in the am. Where I work, we complete a 3 hour as too many women slip through the cracks on a one hour glucose. Normal blood sugar should be 110 and little lower

Normal is 140 or less. I was 176. I'm also waiting totake the 3 hour. It might mean our bodies aaren't processing the carbs and sugars like they should. 2out of 3 woman that fail the ffirst one end up passing the 3 hour. The way I think of it is that its better to know something is wrong so I can do what I have to do to make sure the baby and myself are healthy. Good luck
