Refusing 3hr and accepting results

I was just curious if any other mothers refused to take the 3 hr test and just accepted the initial failed result. I had GD last time and I know it was diet controlled and have all the equipment. I’ve been testing and watching diet since they told me. It just seems like a terrible thing to go in and do for my body and my baby when I already know I’m going to fail. And even in the off chance that I pass (which I’m not betting on) I just feel it’s better to take precautions. Aside from that I also have a 3 year old I would have to keep maintained in a lab for 3 hrs and I just don’t see any benefits of really going? I called my doctor and asked if I refused what negatives and all they said is that insurance won’t pay for diabetic supplies. I’ve already got everything, I know what I’m doing, and insurance won’t pay until I meet my deductible anyways so added negative is that It’s just costing me to take that test and whatever else the insurance is going to make me pay for in order to cover some potential costs. I’m just curious if anyone else has refused and what repercussions you came across in doing so. Thanks!

I also had GD with my first pregnancy, so this time I asked to skip the 1 hour instead, and my dr sent me straight to a 2 hour. It at least saved me one trip to the lab and a couple of extra draws. I haven't had any problems with insurance or anything, they have all accepted the 2 hour as a diagnosis. I think it's just the 1 hour that is considered a "screening" and not a "test," so they won't accept that unless you're super high on it. Oddly enough I only failed by 4 points though, which is weird because my BG went up within a couple of weeks and I'm already on insulin 3 weeks later. Makes me wonder what would have happened if I passed, so I would have monitored myself as if I had it anyway just like you mentioned.

I asked but my insurance wouldn't pay for supplies or GD meds without me failing the 3 hr. I wish I'd been able to skip it, but since I'm now on insulin, it's a good thing I did bc that stuff is not cheap

Thank you I will talk to my Dr and see if I can go without!

I also opted out of the 3-hour for the same reasons you mentioned - health concerns & sake of time w/a 2-year-old to consider. My midwife was fine with it. I got a 194 on the 1-hour, I think it was 185 the first time around. And I tested at 16 weeks this time. My insurance has covered everything.

I didn't have to take 3 hr on my second pregnancy. I failed the 1 hr and they were fine diagnosing it with just that since I'd had gd in my first pregnancy

I skipped my 3 hour this time (second time with gd) because my one hour was so high my dr automatically diagnosed me . I don’t think insurance necessarily automatically refuses . Mine didn’t but I did get over 200 on my one hour .
