3 hr glucose test

I just failed the one hour by llike 2 points, the dr. told me... but she didnt give me too much info on how to prepare for the 3 hour test. Any suggestions? I am going to try and go either tomorrow or Friday morning to get it done... I am dreading it more than I am dreading the possibility of having GD!!!

Re: 3 hr glucose test

There's nothing you can do to prepare. I think I was just told to fast 10-12 hours before for mine. You can drink water though. You either have GD or you don't, there's not a lot you can do to skew the results either way. I failed my 1 hr pretty badly but passed the 3 hr. After speaking with a lot of my friends, it turns out they went through the same thing. So think positive, good luck!

Thanks! They just said fast after midnight... I can handle that!

Re: 3 hr glucose test

same here - fast for 12 hours before the test, but you CAN have water... I called and double checked on that, as i had a cold at the time and needed to keep hydrated.

Honestly, the test was easier on me than the 1 hour was...but i failed anyway..

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
