Yeah, I was wondering about that.....I want to pass but I don't know if "cheating" is the best thing...lol :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154878 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:31:19 +0000 dc yoga bee 2154878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: yes! I had a snickers bar before mine, and failed with a 156!! Took my 3 hour the following Saturday, and passed with flying colors! Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154868 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:27:00 +0000 Kemma 2154868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The good news is that the one hour test is designed to have a high rate of false positives so lots of people go on to pass the three hour test, the bad news is that if you do have GD then nothing you can do will help you "cheat" the test. Continue to eat carbs but reduce / eliminate the sugar and simple carbs if you can - good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154848 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:15:25 +0000 MamaBehr 2154848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All three pregnancies I have failed the 1 hour but passed the 3 hour one. :) The three hour one totally blows.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154816 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:55:06 +0000 Ginabean3 2154816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: :goodluck: :goodluck: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154815 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:54:49 +0000 Ginabean3 2154815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @MrsBrewer: thanks ladies! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154814 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:54:23 +0000 Ginabean3 2154814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tiramisu: they said I did not have to fast but I did anyway! I did drink a lot of water though...don't know if that might have had an adverse effect... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154777 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:26:58 +0000 tiramisu 2154777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Did they have you fast for your 1 hour test? I didn't fast and failed the 1 hr. I think I had a 160. The 3 hour test I passed easily without changing my diet. I just felt super sick during it because of the fasting and drinking the glucola. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154768 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:20:08 +0000 MrsBrewer 2154768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was me! I failed my 1 hour, but then I took my 3 he and I passed it easily! I didn't change my diet at all either </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154764 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:19:10 +0000 hilsy85 2154764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is SUPER common to fail the 1 hour and pass the 3 hour. Happened to me. Don't stress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154762 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:18:14 +0000 Torchwood 2154762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: I would have been really unhappy if I had had it worse. Hoping to get away with no GD this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154759 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:16:15 +0000 Ginabean3 2154759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: oh geez....I didn't even think about having to give up my coffee in the morning....especially since I just discovered some delicious Girl Scout cookie flavored creamer..... :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154754 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:15:09 +0000 Torchwood 2154754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Yeah, I was able to eat/drink whatever I wanted (including Starbucks white chocolate mocha, which you KNOW has a ton of sugar) as long as I ate protein with it. Some people can't get away with that, but it's a good place to start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154752 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:13:47 +0000 Ginabean3 2154752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: ah! Thank you for chiming in! This gives me hope. :happy: the nurse I saw today did say to up my protein intake....oh and she said I could eat unlimited pickles! Lol..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154749 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:09:50 +0000 Torchwood 2154749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For what it's worth, I had GD last time, and for me it was more important to balance my protein intake with my carbs, than to cut out carbs entirely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154746 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:08:36 +0000 Ginabean3 2154746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: oh man!! Good luck to you! :goodluck: the thing is, I was shocked that I failed it....I passed it easily with my first daughter and I think I'm a pretty healthy/decent eater!</p> <p>Maybe all those late night cravings for hot Cheetos have caught up to me.... :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154741 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:06:28 +0000 Mama Bird 2154741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, no, you too :bummed: I failed the one-hour with DS and passed the three hour with no trouble. Don't know what the numbers were though, but I think it's very common to pass on the second try! This time I failed with a 185 which is, I guess, pretty bad. I'm going back for the three hour test tomorrow. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-the-glucose-test#post-2154733 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:55:48 +0000 Ginabean3 2154733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I did not pass the one hour glucose test (got at 136...I needed to be 129 or under). I'm going back on Saturday to take the 3 hour test where they do multiple blood draws. </p> <p>Did anyone ever fail the first test and then pass the second? I'm nervous. I've been cutting out all carbs and reducing my sugar intake and hopefully that will help..... </p>
