You'll never believe this 3hr glucose related

[spankswife]

So 3 of my numbers were perfect, but my 1 hour was 171, which my dr felt was too close to the threshold (which I thought was 179?) so I HAVE TO RE-TAKE THE 3 HOUR!!!

I got here at 620 to make sure I'm first in line. I have lots of old people to compete with at the lab.

Ugh! How frustrating! Hope you pass with flying colors this time!

Ugh, I can't believe you have to repeat that! What's the point of doing a 3 hr if they're just going to go by the 1 hr?! I would be so pissed.

[centralsquare]

Oh NO! That three hour was the worst. All I can say is that having GD is not as bad as I expected, so if it turns out you have it or are borderline, it's much better to know. Both for your health and the health of the baby. That said, I hope you pass and don't have to deal with any of it!

THIS! I would be FURIOUS!  So sorry, you're having to go through this.

Oh man, I would rage. If it was just the one-hour number, can't you just redo the first hour? Ugh.

[miamigirl]

Oh! How frustrating!

Honestly I don't have the fight in me. My dr is pretty strict, and I'm not about to question her and piss her off. I have a family history of diabetes and I know she is just being cautious. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck though.

[5oclocksomewhere]

Oh that is the suck. I'm sorry! I'd be raging.

[achi]

Not cool.

mr+ms I agree. Mine has been extremely well controlled with diet and I would have rather just tested for a week or so with a normal diet to see where the numbers were. I think the only downfall to this however is that the test is supposedly designed to predict what your body will do further along when the insulin needs increase. Testing for a week at say, 28 weeks, would only tell you if you have an issue at that time. Elevated numbers may indicate a future issue, but numbers may also be just fine at that point.

Oh man, I'm sorry. That sucks!
