Refusing 3hr and accepting results

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 .

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 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.

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

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

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.

Oh, and also, if your supplies ore from your 3 year old, you will need new ones anyway. My daughter is 2 and they said they were all WAY too old to be accurate, and I did notice a big difference in my values when I got new stuff. So don't rely on your old supplies too much, just FYI.

My doctor let me skip both the 1 hour and 3 hour and just test at home for 2 weeks and fax in my numbers. I already know I have it because of some of my numbers but she said she could give me the diagnosis from the results.

I tested all tree times only one hour. And the last pregnancy I had I had to have meds for and now this one no meds my last a1c was 4.9 so I'm keeping it controlled very well with diet

I skipped my 3 hour and just excepted my 1 hour fail. Been diet and exercise controlled the whole time. No reason to put that nasty drink in your body a second time.
