Glucose test

I agree with Sophie.. did they ever say why you had to retake the 1 hour test after passing the 3 hour test? If you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, they will more and like you get you with a high risk doctor that will give you a diet plan and have you self monitor you glucose levels

You can always ask to just monitor your blood sugar manually instead of testing again - I opted out completely

@Joy as far as i know my doctor is same since the beginning. I wasn’t sent to high risk doctor and even my ultrasound doctor was surprised on hearing about taking the test again and she said i dnt really need it. But now i am not going to take the three hour test again. I remember how weak and dizzy i was whole day after three hour test.

@Sanasjia i am thinking of doing that too.

@Sophie you are right that drink makes me nauseous and dizzy and it went 3 times in my body and i have had enough of it.

They shouldn't have had you do both. You should request it to be just the 3 hour one and done.

I opted out of my three hour and monitored my Sugar and they drew blood for an A1C. I’d refuse and either check sugar or request they draw blood.

Hey @Himani I had to do the 1 hr tests at 21 weeks because my doctor thght I might have GD because of my genetics and weight gain (though I only gain 20lb). I failed so had to do the 3 hour, but I passed the 3 hour at 21 weeks too. Then they made me do 1 hour again at 28 week which is when it’s normally done and failed so had to do the 3 hour again. I chose to do it again because i wanted to be cautious, especially with my family history of diabetes. I passed the 3 hour again.

@Anjali I understand. I am overweight but i do not have family history of diabetes but still for one last time i will consider doing the test and be done with it

It's always better to be safe than sorry. I had the one hour and the 3 hour tests around 24 weeks. They are doing a 3 hour test again at 32 weeks (next week). Im slender, but I have PCOS, so it puts me at a righer risk for blood glucose issues. If you are overweight or have pcos, things like diabetes don't care how pregnant you are or if you passed a test a while ago. It can happen at any point in pregnancy. Best of luck! Hope you all have a blessed pregnancy!
