3hr glucose test... :(
How do you pass a sugar test... I failed the first one..
@markysmess. I hope you pass or have passed... I was like u wanting to know what to do before the test as well... I called as well to get my answers.. I think places are different where ever you go. I got to walk around if I wanted too... But there were so many people at the lab I couldn't. I was able to bring water to sip however I never did. Everyone I have talked to failed the 1 hour and passed 3 hour. So I wish you luck on the test if u have not taken it. You will be fine.. Just no sweets :)
This test, i wasnt allowed to eat or drink for 12hrs. I was allowed to have water leading up to the test, but once it started, wasnt allowed anything. I was not able to walk around, sleep, drink anything at all. And i also was told to eat normally prior to the 12hr fast, shoot, the last thing i ate was peanuts and chocolate. And its pretty normal for me to do.. Like i said i crave sweets, so id like to know if i wasnt able to balance my sugar. But i felt a lot better this time around.
Not eating or drinking 6 hr be4 the test. Some are 12 hr. Some Dr dont want u to fast. What ever the result are dont worry or try to past the next one. Bc it can be dangerous if alter results and u do have it. It can cause death of u and the baby , blindness , kidney disease, and much more. If it not under control. Just follow doctors orders it can be managed and you can have a safe pregnancy.
What do you ladies mean by fasting?
This post is ridiculous... Actually it shouldnt even been posted and that's my opinion... Why I say this if to pass this test or even prepare for this test it's really nothing to prepare for it's either you have the pregnancy diabetes or you don't... If you eat correctly the day before that can alter the test... I say do what you do even on a regular day before the test unless the doctor tells you other wise.. Why I say this is because if you eat or drink something that you won't normally do it was alter the results then you take test and pass then if it really is a problem you won't know until it's to late. And I'm far from accusing you from harming your child I would be vex myself if someone said it to me.. Doctors would inform you do this or don't do that before this test... I ate pancakes drunk oj before mine.. I don't know my results yet until the 24 but I tell you this I wouldnt change what I had done because in doing so I would know if that suger an other bs affected me oh yea I had a bacon egg an cheese.. well a couple bites... But I wouldn't change it like I said because I would want to know if eating like that could effect my child.. But anyway unless like I said the doctor gave you orders of what to do an what not then do it or don't but if I was you I would eat what I normally do... And for the record you did ask the question whether you put it up here right or wrong people are entitled to their opinions why fight and get all aggressive.. if you read a response you didn't agree with respond an move on.. and until you see the one you feel worth responding to then do so... If not you will be having a argument all day over bs... I hope you get the answer you looking for..
@tinuha I was allowed to sip the water however I did not drink water.... I did not alter test at all I did what I was told by doc
bring a book!
Yeah since i wasnt clear enough and certain people wanted to be rash, i decided to call and talk to the lab myself as i again, had no advice from my doctors office and they told me to just call them. Not allowed to sleep or walk around, nothing. Just sit and wait for three hours. Lol it will be tons of fun..... (Not really)
i hope you pass, i apologize if my comment seemed judgemental. if all you were asking was how to prepare for the 3 hour test then i misunderstood. you simply fast for 12 hours prior to the test. alittle water during that time is fine but once you start the test you shouldn't be allowed anything to eat or drink and you'll have to spend the time at the blood lab. there isn't much else you need to do to prepare. good luck. :)
I am no worries :-)
Doesn't look like your so over it.
As th986 said, not everyone here is rational. So its cool. Everyone have a good night. :)
Lmao so its not bad parenting to try to alter tests even if it would endanger your unborn child? And i think i said next time i will say it like i am talking to a five year old. Plenty of people got what i meant. and i am going back and forth with myself?! Wow. Haha now this is just entertaining.. Haha keep it coming. And yeah, respect gets respect. I found her comment disrespectful. Like yeah, thats totally what i want, my child to have life long issues so i can pass a test.... Get a grip ladies. Lol like i said i am over it. I got all the info on my test i need TO DO IT CORRECTLY.
Really, no one would get upset by being accused of endangering their child? Lol oookaayyy... And yeah because they were answering my question, not assuming i am a bad parent. And why would i correct someone who was actually trying to help?... Duh! And i had NO instructions, so how would i know if i even got an accurate result? I dont think you are rude, i know you are. Ive seen first hand what its like and i already know the dangers, so i dont need to look anything up. Especially when i wasnt trying to do any harm, you just assumed thats what i meant. I think you are living in somewhat of a "la la land". Disagreeing is different then blatantly accusing someone of doing something wrong. Like i said. Its not anyones place to judge, this is a place for q&a.. I am over it. I just had to wrap my head around the amount of stupid you possess.. Took a minute but i am over it. I dont know you so you obviously wouldnt understand what i meant as you dont know me either. :-) what you THINK i meant is irrelevant. I dont need to waste time worrying about how one person passes judgment, instead of answering or helping.. Do what you do rude lady, im over it.
And you seem pretty rude yourself going off on people. You shouldn't get mad at people for something you didn't specify. Everyone is offering there comments on what you asked. If you were looking for something more specific you could have stated so. Not everyone is a mind reader here and no one called you a bad mother. Shame on you for playing a victim.
I agree with yer _ mom. You ask a question then say it's not what you ment, then say people shouldn't read between The lines.
Do you even know exactly what you are trying to ask, since you keep going back and forth with yourself?

There isn't really anything between the lines to read. If you understand what you wrote, Your statement was black and white. "How do I pass a sugar test. I failed the first one." I mean it's pretty painfully obvious it's not a test you have to do something to pass. It's like asking how do you pass your blood test. Ummm....you just take the test and they tell you if you passed. Duh. And trust me I'm not butt hurt on you calling me a idiot. People can read your past comments and see plainly who the idiot is. I think your butt hurt becuase you think I'm rude. Put your big girl panties on honey. Not everyone is going to say stuff you want to hear. If you wanted a more specific answer to a specific question don't be so broad in the question. As you can see many people have gave pointers on what you can do to try to get a passing score. I didn't see you correcting anyone with those comments. So those are the answers you wsnted. You became defensive when people suggested you look up complications of gd. No one would get defensive if there was a plain misunderstanding on what you meant. Yet you name called and gave a lengthy explanation on how you wouldn't harm your baby.
Thank you for getting it. Lol ;)
I understand you are not stupid and you didn't mean to cheat the test but also...not everyone here is smart or rational so I understand them making this kind of assumption. it's not about passing or failing it's about how to act in order to get accurate results that should be the objective of every rational person. missunderstandings happen.
Dont be butt hurt cause i called you an idiot.. Just use your brain. ;-) think about how your assumptions might make someone else feel.. Which in my case is pissed off.. Its not your place to judge someone based on your interpretation of what they say, its a place for q&a. Fyi, in case you werent aware..
Lol cause you knew what i meant.. (Obviously you didnt) yeah i totally want to put my child at risk. I totally want to make my own life easier at the expense of my childs health.. Lol you are a joke. Think whatever you want but dont accuse me of something i am not trying to do... Its about dealing with what comes when it comes, and doing it the right way.. Oh, and i shouldnt have to be so painfully obvious about what i am trying to say like i am talking to a bunch of five year olds. when i simply ask a question and follow it with a statement People shouldnt "read between lines" and put words in my mouth. That in my opinion is idiotic, actually. And rude. I am an adult, if i wanted to alter the test or cheat i would have said something along those lines.
Lol I highly doubt that's what you meant. Just saying. Your just pissed becuase people were getting on you and decided to throw a little tantrum and switch your story around. To each their own. oh and no need for name calling when you plainly couldn't express what you were trying to get across in the first place, then get defensive on the comments you asked for. A bit "idiotic" don't you think? Good luck :)
I failed my one hour, I fasted the whole day, the nurses told me I had to probably why I failed it! Took a 3 hour and passed it! From what I hear a lot of women fail the one and pass the 3 Good luck!
Read my other previous statements.. Then ask what i was saying. I didnt say i was trying to alter it. I simply said i failed it, like i said. Next time ill be painfully obvious about what i mean for those people who want to accuse me of endangering my child.. Which is waay worse than being called an idiot. And for the record.. I wasnt told there were any instructions... I used common sense and didnt eat or drink anything but water before the test that morning.. I made sure to ask today before i go in tomorrow.. Yeah it is pretty simple when you know what youre doing... Rude ***! :-)
