Failed 1 hour glucose test

Girlllll BREATHE!! You are okay! If you didn’t have it before, you’re not gonna have it after! I’m taking insulin rn and although my partner takes it and I’ve never imagined ME having it, you’re pregnant and your hormones, PH etc etc is allll out of wack! It’ll go away after pregnancy and could even go away rn if wanted

I failed my one hour but passed my 3 hour. That being said, you can't have diabetes permanently from GD. Once you lose your placenta, you lose GD.

I would recommend taking things one step at a time. Like others have said, its not permanent. No need to spiral yet. You have another test and it will all go the way it needs to go. Breathe and remember one step at a time

know how scary it feels right now but you’ll get through this.
I also read that Approximately 66% to 75%(roughly 3 out of 4) of women who fail the 1-hour test go on to pass the 3-hour diagnostic test.

Notching :(

Okay I know all doctors practice differently and we all have our own health problems but please do not fast before going to drink down a whole 8 oz bottle of sugar. This is my 4th pregnancy. I actually denied mine with this baby but with my other 2(my first I did what everyone did and fast and was sick for a whole 2 days) make sure you eat a egg or 2 and drink your water.

This is my second pregnancy with GD. Its not entirely true that it magically goes away with the placenta. It does for most, but you can have after effects and for some people it reveals diabetes or prediabetes thar you were unaware of before. If you had a recent A1C before your pregnancy and were not above 5.6 then its unlikely you will have it after.

It is annoying, but its not as terrible as it seems at first. Take a breath and remember there is a solid chance you pass the 3 hr. If not there are so many resources for eating healthy on the GD diet. You get used to the finger sticks and you'll learn what your body tolerates well.

Hey friend, it’s okay, just last week I was freaking out too!!! Mine was 171 and I cried when I failed out of fear. I passed my 3 hour and was so relieved. Most likely they will tell you to not eat past midnight for the 3 hour, drink plenty of water.
