Glucola testing

Hi ladies! I’m curious if anyone is with Kaiser and has had to do the glucola test for GD in their first trimester? I know it’s normally not done until 24 weeks or so, but Kaiser has these strict rules and makes everyone do the glucola test early. Has anyone done it? Is it safe to do this early? I’m supposed to do it in the next few days. I’m worried.

My husband is a doctor for Kaiser, I can check with him and see if he has any insight. Is it ok to message you?

Yes, thank you so much!!

I got it done at Kaiser at week 8 . Just have to deal w drinking a pet bottle of dextrose filled orange juice on an empty stomach then test after 1hr . Just make sure you don’t vomit then u’ll have to come back the next day to repeat it . So have it small sips , I had a great plubotomist who engaged me in her preg journey so it was easy to drink

Thanks so much for sharing, @Nikki! This is really helpful! Did you fast for over one hour before you did it?

I went fasted 1st thing after waking up . But the office said u don’t need be it’s very confusing instructions . Go fasted as it helps get a clear result .

Yeah, I’ve been hearing conflicting information. But sounds like you did the right thing! Thanks so much for this!😊
