Just got back from 3 hour Glucose test

Yuck - that was way sweeter than the 1 hour, but it was cold so I chugged it down. I felt a bit queasy for the first hour, then when the did the second blood draw I almost fainted. They missed the vein and had to keep trying. As the 3 hours went on they had harder and harder time finding veins so I was stuck in both arms and both hands - ouch. Glad it s over and now I wait. Again, like the 1 hour, it wasn't as bad as I anticipated.

I asked what my results were from the 1 hour, they told me normal range was 70-140 and I was 149.

Did anyone have similar numbers in the 1 hour and then pass the 3 hour?

Re: Just got back from 3 hour Glucose test

I got a 143 on the 1 hour and had prior history of GD (had it with my first pregnancy) but I passed my 3 hour with flying colors.

I got a 130something on the 1st hour of the 3 hour and my dr said 180 is passing for the 3 hour 1st hour (since you are drinking twice as much sugar)!!

Good Luck!!

Re: Just got back from 3 hour Glucose test

my number in the 1 hour was like 179 and I passed my 3 hour with such good numbers they have no clue how I failed the 1 hour. I had been told to expect to fail the 3 hour.

Re: Just got back from 3 hour Glucose test

I was told the borderline was 125-130 and i got a 139. I just got my results back from the 3-hour & I passed! Good luck!! Many girls that fail the 1-hour pass the 3-hour so don't fret!!
