Failing the 1hr and passing the 3hr?

[starlily]

Tell me your stories.

I got a 158 on my 1hr glucose test this morning, and am pretty sure I'll have to do the 3hr. I knew going in the odds were stacked against me (had GD before), but I was still hopeful. Last time I failed the 1hr with a 238(!) so I didn't even get to take the 3hr.

It seems like a good percentage of people fail the 1 hour and pass the 3 (including myself). No worries, don't fret about it as I did. I think there are only 2-3 ladies on this board who have GD (sorry 'disappointedkittens and company).

I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour, but I can't remember the exact number of my 1 hour. I failed by a considerable amount.

I did :-)

I have GD, but genetics were stacked against me - my maternal grandma, her sister, and my mom all had GD. My mom and her brother both have type II diabetes now. I hoped I'd be ok since my mom didn't get it until her third pregnancy and I'm much healthier than she was overall, but I have it this time around.

I had a 165 on the first test. On the three hour, my fasting and three hour were good; my one hour was 200 (limit is 180) and two hour was 157 (limit is 155).

I hope you're spared this time around, but I'm not sure if the one hour score is a predictor or not in all cases.

I got a 132 on my one hour, but took my three hour on Thursday and passed. Good luck!

I don't usually post here, but I had a 196 (!!! lol) for the one hour and passed the three hour with completely normal levels.

Fingers crossed for you!

Me! I think I had a score in the low 140s with #1. It's awesome that you're so much lower than last pregnancy.

That's the only good thing I'm taking away from this whole thing! My A1C was also much lower - higher end of the range, but still under 6%.

Me!! I failed the one hour, but passed the 3 hour. Good luck! I hope you pass!

Failed the 1 hr in the mid 170s but passed the 3 hr with flying colors.

Barely failed the 1 hr, passed the 3 hr. Midwife still told me to cut back on sugar and juices.
