Glucose drink

Does anyone have advice about the glucose test? I failed my first one and I have my three hour one on Monday. What happens if I fail that one?

You will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

I’d suggest taking your time drinking the drink. You have 5 minutes and it isn’t a huge drink so you can take your time. Some people prefer to chug it but chugging makes my tummy feel icky. And make sure you have plenty of protein before you start your fasting, that should help you feel better too.

My doctor basically said it’s not about what you’re eating or how you’re living you can eat healthy and exercise and still have the issue of your body not producing enough insulin. It may be caused by the hormones made by your placenta. Other than controlling it once diagnosed there isn’t anything you can do to get rid of it other than have the baby. I failed my 1 hour and passed my three hour. For the three hour you have to fail two of the three blood draws to be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The three hour test sucks, bring a book or something to do, it makes for a long morning. Fingers crossed you pass your three hour.

Nothing you do will change it. I ate 2 hrs before mine a turkey sussage biscuit. Pepsi, grapes and some boiled eggs and passed it’s not about what you do it’s about your placenta
