I was told 130 was the highest.... my 1 hour i was at 137 and i do the 3 hr next Thursday ...diff
State diff standard????
It's a test to see if you have pregnancy diabetes. You'll have one around 24wks-28wks...
@Ashley i think that's what it is over here in Washington the highest 139.
Ok thank you. I'm 30 weeks and haven't had it, I don't think it's a routine procedure here on the UK. All the best!
My 1 hour was 147. They gave me that one when I was 6 weeks because diabetes runs in my family. I switched to a more local doctor and he gave me a 2 hour test around 24 weeks and it came back "glucose within normal range" I don't know what the number was though, just that it was normal.
I fasted, level was 5.0, given lucozade, after 2 hrs level was 8.2(should be under 7.8) so now i have gd. Ive read that drinking 3 glasses of water could help lower blood glucose. During my test i wasnt allowed to move around but could drink some water..but i didnt...so im wondering had i drank water if my level would be lower? I was so focused on keeping the horrid lucozade down (they cancel the test if you throw up) that i was almost napping in my chair for 2hrs. So im going to try hydrating from now on.
I failed the 1st test. I was fasting. Passed the 3 hr test.. Fasting as well. No stressing no walking just relax while waiting this also affects the results
