View 13 RepliesHow many hours ahead are you suppose to eat before you take your glucose test and does it matter if you eat 30-40 minutes before you go? Any advice on how to prepare for it? And how much blood do they draw from you?

I've had a call today again from the GP surgery that my glucose blood fasting test was inconclusive and I will need to fast again in 6 weeks and have that done. What does it mean?

View 6 RepliesIn took my 1-hour glucose test this morning. It was horrible. I am praying I don't have to take the 3-hour one. I have been nauseous since. Anyone else get nauseous after drinking that awful drink?
View 5 RepliesI failed the 3 hour glucose test by 3 points. The Dr wants me to see a specialist. Show I be concerned? I've only gone 24-25 lbs and I'm 30 weeks pregnant. My baby is measuring small and fluid levels are dropping. So I already go to the Dr's constantly to be monitored. I just feel overwhelmed. They gave me steroid shots and are talking about inducing me soon. I don't know what to think or do. Anyone have some advice?
View 4 RepliesI am so upset. I was tested early at 15 weeks because both of my parents have diabetes. I know I didn't have diabetes because I had my annual physical with my general doc weeks before I got pregnant and no sugar issues. I failed 3 out of 4 of the tests. So I'll have to prick my finger 4 times a day and restrict the carbs in my diet. What should I expect? Is it a good thing that it if it was going to happen it was earlier than later? I just really need to hear from anyone who went through this or know of other women who dealt with GD
