I am 30 wks preg and i just had the gestational diabetes testing last week. the thing is that...?
i didn't even know they were going to do that testing on that day so right before i went, i happened to have scarfed down a bunch of jellie bellies it was my birthday and my cousin bought me can full of them anyway, the next day, the doctor's office called and said " your glucose levels were a bit high so we need you to come in for the 3 hour testing." i didn't have gd with my first pregnancy so i'm thinking my glucose levels came back high cuz of all the candy. am i right? what do you think? of course, i'm still going in for the testing this week anyway
Is it ok to eat sweets before gestational diabetes testing?
We had a bake sale for work today and all the leftovers are here and are VERY tempting I'm supposed to get tested for gestational diabetes in the morning. Will eating sweets the night before affect the results of my test?Sorry I should have added this. I'm at no known risk of diabetes. It's just a thing they check for. I just hardly eat sweets and seeing them while being pregnant is making me want them I just didn't want to make the test inaccurate since I hardly eat sweets.My test came back negative. That night I had a piece of white cake with whipped white frosting, a brownie topped with powdered sugar, chocolate chip ice cream, and 2 glasses of orange juice and 2 glasses of water. What a pig ha ha
How long do I need to fast before the 3 hour gestational diabetes test?
I failed the one hour test, and am taking the 3 hour test at 8 30am tommorrow. The doctor mentioned fasting, but I was still in bed and groggy when hubbie came in with the phone and I missed how long I was supposed to fast for.I know it was 2 hours for the one hour test, but I think it is longer for the 3 hour test?
Is the gestational diabetes test necessary for not at risk patients?
My Dr requested that I test for gestational diabetes at my next appointment I will be 28 weeks then. I am not so sure I need to have it done, have a BMI of 22, am 25, no family history and no other risk factors for gestational diabetes or diabetes in general with my last 2 pregnancies the sugar drink made me very sick, I am also considered self pay and this does have something to do with my decision.Is this a test all patients need to do regardless of risk or can it be skipped when the patient has had no previous history of gestational diabetes or any other contributing risk factors?
"Borderline positive" on a gestational diabetes test?
Ok, so they did my three hour glucose test and they said it was a borderline positive. I had a borderline positive with my first and kept to the ADA diet perfectly and never had to use the insulin. I have been monitoring my blood sugar but eating what ever the heck I felt like for the last couple of days but my blood sugar is staying within the range that it needs to be 80 120 . Should I even worry about the diet OR just keep monitoring my blood sugar and as long as it is ok, we are ok?If eating what ever I want is keeping my sugar where it is supposed to be, then why diet???

Can I have gotten a false positive on the gestational diabetes test?
I failed both the one hour and the three hour oral glucose test. I don't have any risk factors except being over 25. I weighed 106 before I was pregnant and have gained 16 pounds in 30 weeks of pregnancy. I smoked twice during the three hour test. Could thins have given me a false positive?

Is it mandatory to get a prenatal gestational diabetes test?
No one in my family has diabetes, except for a distant cousin. My husband and I are both very adamant about NOT getting it done, because I'll never be able to keep the glucose drink down long enough, because while I don't have diabetes, I do have a very touchy stomach. I'll puke before I get a sip down and be sick the rest of the day, to the point where I'll probably have to get IV fluids for dehydration. It has happened earlier in the pregnancy a few times already So, we want to avoid that if possible.
How did you feel during your three hour gestational diabetes test?
Did you turn out to have GD or not? I had mine test today and the first hour and half after I drank the liquid I felt like crap dizzy, nauseus and miserable. Does it mean my body couldn't deal with that glucose? I won't have results untill Thursday and I am really freaked out about this whole thing.
How to pass the gestational diabetes test?
I am 15 weeks pregnant and I have to take the test in about a month. For the past 3 years I have been extremely cautious about staying away from sugars of all kinds even fruit. I don't feel good when I eat sugar, and it gives me a rash.The problem is, they are going to make me drink this sugary mixture YUCK . Since I never eat sugar, I don't know how my body will handle it, and I don't want to be labeled as " high risk" when I know I am eating right for my baby.Anyone hear of any ways to " pass" the diabetes test. I heard that almonds help your body digest sugar. Any other ideas? Should I start eating sugar now, so that my body can handle the sugar test?For all those wondering why I would want to pass the test. The test is to tell me if my baby will be harmed b c of the effect sugar has on my body. Well, if I NEVER eat sugar then the test is invalid to me... the only thing it will do is tell my dr. to put me in a category labeled " high risk" which will in turn make me more likely to have a cesection. Drs like to give c sections.
