if you failed the 1hr did you watch your sugar
after? I don't know when my 3hr will be but Im feeling like I should be careful now, at least until I know my 3hr results. ? Like, what if I want ice cream ?

Re: if you failed the 1hr did you watch your sugar
I was a little more conservative than normal. But since I only failed by 5 points, my dr's office told me not to worry about it!

I was the same. I only failed te 1 hour test by 3 points (my own stupid fault), so I really didn't change my eating habits before the 3 hour.... except for fasting the night before the 3 hour.

I failed the one hour by a lot - didn't change my eating habits at all and passed the 3 hour.

whats that pass/fail #? I thought I read somewhere that it should be under 140. Mine came back at 186!!

My doctor told me Quest Diagnostics cut off number was 130, their office used 127 as their cutoff number. I was 130!

Re: if you failed the 1hr did you watch your sugar
I didn't fail...just was "too close to failing" so my dr made me take the 3 hour.
You had to fast from midnight of the day you were taking it, I am not kidding you that I had a brownie at 11:58pm.

Re: if you failed the 1hr did you watch your sugar
I failed my 1 hour and then passed the 3 hour. I didn't change my diet at all in between (except the fasting after midnight as instructed).

Re: if you failed the 1hr did you watch your sugar
i cut out sugar the day before-except for fruit which i know is high in sugar..but i figured fruit would be better than cake.
I was told that i shouldn't really change too much of what i eat before the 3 hour because what if you pass it because of how you ate all week but you really do have GD and it goes undiagnosed?

Re: if you failed the 1hr did you watch your sugar
My dr.'s cutoff was 130 and mine was 136. I ate the morning of the test and had eaten an abnormally large amount of sugar the week before the test ( i had major heartburn and ice cream was the only thing i wanted to eat) anyway, the week before the 3 hr i made sure to go back to my normal eating habits and I fasted 12 hours before - nothing but water.
Not sure if any of this made any difference but, I didn't want to risk a false positive result!
Good luck - I am SURE you will be fine

Re: if you failed the 1hr did you watch your sugar
I failed my 1 hour and passed my 3 hour - actually my doctor made me go on a carb load diet where I had to eat extra carbs every day for a few days before my three hour.

Re: if you failed the 1hr did you watch your sugar
I didn't change my diet when I failed the 1 hour both pregnancies. I changed my diet (which wasn't that bad to begin with) when I had GD with my 1st pregnancy. This time I didn't have it so I am free to eat!! All honestly though - I am not a very unhealthy eater to begin with. The 1 hour is such a flukey test - I would just wait and see - the few days will not make a difference in the scheme of things anyway.
