because I failed the first test

how come yours is 3 hours mine was only 1 hour

I failed mine. :( I get to prick my finger four times a day as well, but I don't have to take any medication. As long as I keep my blood sugars in check, the doctors think everything will be fine. Its so hard though!!@babykellersmommy

@evelynsmommy1208,

Yeah when I got there before I drank the drink they had to check my blood sugar by pricking my finger and then did a blood draw then drank the drink. Because I failed that and was diagnosed with gd I now have to prick my finger to test my blood sugar 4 times a day and I have to take insulin pills. In 2 weeks I have to start going to the hospital every week and do a stress test. It sucks big time! I hope you pass, I got so sick!

My 3 hr was the same as @babykellersmommy , but if I would've thrown up, they would have made me restart the whole test. I couldn't leave, even though I live like five min away from there. I suggest bringing a book! I also had an initial blood draw as well as the 3 1hr blood draws.

wow they won't let me bring mine home... I wish they would have that would have been nicer... I'm not looking forward to this I hated being there for a hour.

I never had the 3 hour one . but , I heard during any glocose test. you can't leave.

yeah they wouldn't let me leave

My dr gave me the drink n i drank it at home n went in bt i only has the hr one done and passed...

They wouldn't let me leave when I had to. The drink for the 3 hour one is double the amount of sugar in the 1 hour. Then they draw your blood every hour after. I threw up after about 45 minutes so it's an automatic fail :/
