Failed 1 hour glucose test!! I am absolutely devastated😭

Don’t beat yourself up about it better luck next time things will get better just learn from it I know the feeling tho but I would say that soon it will be all over soon and u would be able to hold your baby but now I’m nervous I have my test on the 16th

You’re doing great mama! I was very concerned for my glucose test since my mom had gestational diabetes with me and my two siblings, but I managed to escape the bullet. For the three-hour, definitely opt for no processed sugar the night before and day of. I had read it’s actually best not to test fasted and complex carbs with protein and fiber tend to provide the best results. Mine was in the morning so the night before I had grilled chicken, asparagus and brown rice. In the morning, I had plain oatmeal with PB2 mixed in. Hope this helps! Just know even if you do have GD, you WILL be able to manage it. It will be tough, but you can do it!

I failed my 1 hour too with 147 and take my 3 hour tomorrow.. I’m dreading it as well and hoping I pass but not sure I will.
Apparently it’s luck of the draw and no matter what we eat or do, you have it or you don’t 🤷🏼‍♀️
Good luck to you!

A few things, one being that gestational diabetes is not the same as type 2 diabetes it can happen to the most fit and healthy and skinny people so there’s no shame in it it doesn’t mean you’re not healthy it just means that your placenta is making hormones that block your insulin
Two, your previous meals wouldn’t matter as the 1 hour test is not meant to be fasting and your body should be able to produce adequate insulin every 2 hours, your body probably already regulated your blood sugar by the time you took the test
And three, even if you do have GD you don’t have to go so drastic with cooking every meal and completely changing your diet, I just had chicken tenders from sonic with ranch and a diet sprite as a meal, really you just have to add in fats and proteins and have smaller quantities of sweets at the end of your meal, glucose goddess on instagram is very helpful at explaining how you can alter the order in which you eat your food, what you can add to a meal etc.

You don't know anything for sure yet. It's not time to worry. I just failed my 1 hour on Thursday.... It's nothing you can control so just relax and wait to see what the next steps are. I scheduled my 3 hour for tomorrow. I'll try to remember to come post an update for you. My ob said have a high protein low sugar breakfast before the 1 hour which seems like you did. You're already a great mom just breath and only worry about what you can control! Good luck!

I’ve heard of SO many people failing their 1 hour test & passing the 3 hour test no problem! So definitely don’t freak out just yet!

I failed mine Thursday & have to take the 3 hour one!!

Like people said above it’s a totally different than type 2 diabetes. The healthiest people get gestational diabetes too. And it doesnt mean you’ll have it every time you get pregnant either.

There’s no shame! You gotta do what’s best for you & your health. Based on what you said your diet shouldn’t change as much as you think other than maybe adding some carbs to help sugar levels.

I failed my 1 hour also. My Dr wanted under 130 I got a 152, I am 28 weeks tomorrow and 136 pounds. It has nothing to do with weight or what you physically look like. It’s the insulin your body produces. I passed my 3 hour test the next week!

The only words of consolation I can offer is that you have gained way less weight than me and have been eating way more responsibly than me this pregnancy 😅

Also, as far as I’m aware GD is idiopathic as in, it can happen to anyone and no one really knows why it happens ☹️

The words of commiseration I can offer:

Lady, me too. I’m about the same height, started out with 145ish lbs and now am a whopping 176 lbs. i gained 9 lbs in the last 4 weeks and I’m measuring two weeks ahead. My OB probably kinda set me up to fail by telling me to eat “normal” the day of. Kfine.

I found out my test results the same way and I’ve been crying too while stressing about what to eat, because how much more healthy can I eat?? I’m scared of getting a complex about food now. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My only real “sin” was the same as yours — daily ice cream because heartburn 🫠 I’m hoping that taking that out will make it better. And if not, it’s not our fault our body is reacting weird to pregnancy hormones.

🍀 for us all 🤗

I failed my 1hr glucose test & I was in a fasted state 🤦🏾‍♀️ I was devastated too but I passed the 3hr one last week. That one was in a fasted state as well. It’ll be okay!

I failed the 1 hour but passed my 3 hour! I hope you get good results!
