failed 1 hr glucose test NERVOUS

I had the one hr glucose test, she said it was supposed to be under 130 and mine was 170... I have to go back Monday for the three hour test...anyone been through this?? I also had low iron and was told to get an additional supplament. This makes me feel SO unhealthy!! I don't eat a lot of junk food, in fact I eat minimally. Usually once a day and once before bed. I was never overweight, I'm 5'4'' have a child already, and my weight when im not pregnant is consistent 115. Any tips, ideas???? I've been through EXTREME stress this pregnancy, could that contribute?? I'm lost.... :(

Honestly it sounds like you're not eating enough...that can throw off your blood sugar too. Eat small healthy meals and snacks every 3-4 hours; I was told that even if I wasn't particularly hungry, the baby is and needs the energy. My mom's diabetic but hers is always uncontrolled because she refuses to eat more than once or twice a day.

I just went through this last Friday. I failed the one hour with a result of 134 and passed the 3 hour with a result of 93. I seriously thought they mixed my first test up with someone else's results. I haven't been eating bad either so i was shocked to hear that I failed. Just try to stay calm. I was extremely worried too and asked what would happen if I failed again. They said they would just change my diet a
bit and prescribe some pills. Either way it's nothing that can't be fixed or controlled :)

Stress will raise your sugar levels. When you go for your 3hr test try to relax. The less you stress the better!

I also failed it too and I hardly ate because I was sick all the time. I did the 3 hr test and I was fine. Don't worry u will b ok. I also have anemia but I get so constipated I can't take the iron supplement. I feel dizzy nauseous and lightheaded but I try and eat stuff high iron. I felt the same way too guilty but don't stress urself out not good for the baby.
