Failed Gestational Diabetes Test

My dr office said today that I failed the one hour GD test. They said my level was either 170 or 176 and they needed it below 139. Instead of doing the 3 hour test right away, and since I hadn't eaten yet today when I called them, I redid the 1 hour test. My question is, has anyone had a number in the 170's or around there and then passed the 3 hour test? Or what were people's 1 hour tests that did have GD? Thanks!!

I just took my test Tuesday and I am awaiting my score. They said my fluid level was elevated and it could mean GD but not a for sure thing. How long did it take you to get your results??? I am just curious when I should get mine... Sorry I couldn't help.

I had my test Wed. and call them today at noon. Today's test they'll have monday they said. How do you know you have increased fluid....like increased amniotic fluid?

There you are! How are you feeling? Something like a third of women fail the one hour test. It might not be that high of an amount, but it's significant. Most go on to pa__s the 3 hour test.

Pepper, I failed the 1 hour test with a score of 165, and then pa__sed the 3 hour test, but borderline. I was told that I don't have GD but to be careful with all the carbs I eat and all the sugary juices. Like Heather said it's very common to fail teh 1 hour test and pa__s the 3 hour one. Good Luck!

Thanks for your responses!! So there is a chance even though mine was way off then that I might be able to pa__s the 3 hour one then. YAY!!
