I failed the 1 hour & all the 3 hour results came back completely normal, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. don't stress, just follow the diet they give you.

From my understanding only 1 out of 3 people who fail the one hour actually have gestational diabetes. If you fail the 3 hour one the doctor will talk to you and give you more information about changes you need to make.

It means u possible can have diabetes, common in pregrancy. If u end up with it they will put you on a strict diet. You must fast no food or drinks till after the 3hrs. You can have lil sips of water, but not after they give u the drink. Best of luck. I took test two weeks ago. They draw your blood 3x(before drink, hr after drink, than another hr! )

Did you have anything to eat before you did the test?
