Sugar Test

I was just told that my number was 145 and the normal range is 135 so I have to come back and stay for 3 hours and get my blood taken 4 damn times. I am pissed. Anybody else had this issue? I am gonna eat better but will it help it go down or is that number gonna stay.

@Deekie25 thank you so much , that makes me feel kinda better..... and @viri305 it'll be okay. I was told a diet should help you and that it should go away after your pregnancy so hopefully you can remain healthy honey.

They don't do one hour tests here because most people fail them then have to redo it with the three hour test so they don't bother wasting the time or the needles and testing on it and make everyone do the three hour test. I passed it and the needles were fine just take a book or something

I failed the 1 hour. Then I threw up during the 3 hour test 2 separate times. It's more oz to drink and my body couldn't handle all the sugar. After the second time my doc made me do post gravidium, where I fast for 8 hours, then go in get my blood drawn. Go home and eat. Come back 2 hours later and have my blood taken again. Mine came out normal.

It may help. But you might have a mild case of gestational diabetes. I failed my first one too didn't take the three hour test because the 1 hr was too much sugar for me and I got extremely sick. So they are treating me as if I have GD. The duet us hard at first but you get use to it fast. I regret not eating healthier earlier on in my pregnancy, but that doesn't mean it would have changed anything. My body just isn't producing enough insulin.
