I just failed my 1 hour glucose test. My dr considers up to 139 as passing. My number was 140. 🤦🏼 ♀ I’m taking the 3…

@caffeine.fiend, thank you so much for all the tips! I’m not really stressed, because if I am it’s only a temporary diet change for the baby.

@penelope127, good luck. I hope you pass 🤗

Before you go to bed, have a snack that’s pretty high in protein. Don’t neglect carbs, but keep them to under 20 total carbs and shoot for lots of protein. Cheese and crackers, hard boiled eggs, peanut butter. Avoid fruit right before bed, as that can spike fasting number. Also, I know it’s going to be hard, but try not to stress, as stress will elevate a number as well.

I’m on my third experience with GD, so if you have questions, let me know. Also, if you are within an hour before taking the test, that would have affected the test, so it may just be a precaution. Hopefully that’s all it is

Right. And if I do have it, it’s better to catch it to keep baby safe.

You can do it! That would drive me nuts. But I guess they have to have a cut off somewhere

@jessig2006, I made it for Friday. I plan on watching what I eat today, and having protein and veggies for dinner tomorrow.

I can’t believe it though, 1 freaking point. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh no! What the heck!!! When do you have to go back?

@amouryaya09, oh man! yeah it’s fasting. I plan on having steaks on the grill with some steamed broccoli.

@penelope127, if it’s fasting make sure the last thing you eat is protein and vegetables. I messed up last time and drank an ensure drink and it has a ton of carbs! 😔

@alyssa5792, oh no. I think I would cry too. She told me to bring entertainment for 3 hours.

@amouryaya09, not for the 3 hour. It’s a 8-10 hour fasting.

If you’re able to eat before try some eggs and go for a walk before. It should help lower your numbers.

@alyssa5792, you didn’t know to fast. I didn’t know I was going to take mine today, and I had a protein bar before my appointment. I just checked the wrapper, and there was 26 grams of sugar in it.

@alyssa5792, omg! When I heard that I was like oh come on! Better to check and see if I have it to keep baby safe. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@penelope127, 145

@adelasfamily, what was your 1 hour result at?

I failed both now I have diabetes 😭😭
