Gestational Diabetes

I just found out that my 1-hour glucose test result was 285, and the lab person told me I would need to take the 3-hour glucose test if I failed. Since the number seems quite high, I’m wondering if anyone else had a similar experience. Were you diagnosed with gestational diabetes right away, or did you still have to do the 3-hour test? If you had GD, what were your numbers and how was it managed? I’d really appreciate hearing from others who have been through this.

I had it with my daughter who’s 7 and now this pregnancy again. With my daughter ny numbers were high and I was diet controlled and checking my blood sugar multiple times a day. I was induced at just over 37 weeks. This time my numbers were low and I haven’t met with my dr yet to discuss but I am diet controlled as of right now.

My last pregnancy I failed the 1hr and passed the 3hr, although I do not remember how high my numbers were for my 1hr

I’ve seen a few women automatically receive a diagnoses if their numbers are significantly over the range they look for (typically 135-139 depending on your provider) they won’t bother with the 3-hour if that’s the case. I hope that helped a little bit

I also think I should be diagnosed. I am surprised my doctor didn’t say anything about the Glucose test on the portal and wrote normal for all the other tests

I went for the test on Wednesday and got the result the same night. I waited yesterday but didn’t hear back from them. I have sent them a message on the portal. Hopefully I will hear back from them. I am concerned because I also already take Metformin 500 every morning with breakfast and still these numbers came out pretty high. Thank you for your good wishes!

All the beautiful babies are giving me strength at 40 weeks ❤️ biggest mental challenge last few weeks of birth!

Stop and start labour and getting told there is an options for sweeps etc all the time, hard to stay strong with my natural birth plan but the babies are giving me strength! 💕And a new found respect for all the mums that keep having there c sections and inductions pushed back, it’s hard enough waiting for the unknown but sending love to any mums that keep getting there induction and c sections pushed back because it’s so hard this last push when you know there so close to being in your arms! Good luck for this new moon on the 15th 🌕💕

Second pregnancy

Has anyone had a GTT and been told they haven’t got gestational diabetes, but been testing at home and numbers are high?

I had gestational diabetes in my previous pregnancy, my fasting numbers were a problem so ended up on metformin and insulin. After meals weren’t too bad, 9 times out of 10 getting under 7.8 after an hour.
I had a glucose test at 14 weeks and again last week at 26 weeks and was told both times my results were normal and didn’t have gestational diabetes this pregnancy. I still have my kit at home so have been testing, and my fasting results have been 5.6 - 5.8 for the past 3 days. After meals have been in range.
Where do I go from here? Do I contact the diabetic midwives and tell them? Or do I just trust the test results from my glucose tests.
