3 hour glucose tolerance test!

Hi ladies! I'm going to be 24 weeks tomorrow and I have an appointment for the 3h glucose tolerance test. Its my 4th time since I am pregnant. Just because one of my results was not normal. I wonder why the doctor dont start to treat me for high glucose , instead I have to do this over and over again.... I am so tired of fasting and doing this test.... anyone in a similar situation?

I passed mine but they said I needed iron pills. Im 8 months and 2 days with a girl and they gave me the iron pills at 7 months. Anyways if u can go get the test done as early as u can I didnt eat or drink anything or take my vitamins just in case it makes it false. I take prenatal vitamins flinstone iron pills and just iron pills and then the food with iron in it. Im also a red head so I need more iron than other girls.

I'm a ftm and failed my 1 hour one by 8 points. I think it's stupid I'm not allowed to eat or drink for over 12 hours.  Im going in for my 3 hour one next week after my baby shower. I couldn't imagine having to do it as many times as you have.  I guess it's just one of the joys of pregnancy.
