Fasting before 1 hour glucose test and still fail?

Question

Did anyone fast before their 1 hour glucose test and still fail? Also what number did your doctor want you to be below? Everything I've read has said below 140 but my doctor requires below 135. I feel like it's set up for failure so you have to take the 3 hour.

Answer

I'm a nurse and I fasted before the 1hr bc I know too many moms that have eaten and failed the 1hr and I didn't want to do a 3hr! So this is 5th kid and I've never failed but I did last week with a 165 glucose so I did the 3 hr on Mon and my 1st level was 137 so they classified me as borderline :( good luck with yours!

Answer

My 1st pregnancy I was told to fast before my glucose test and I passed. This time I have a different dr and he didn't require me to fast and I still passed. If you failed then you should be required to take the test a 2nd time. It's not made to fail you. Don't let it get you down.

Answer

With my first baby I had an hour glucose test but no fasting 
But with my second baby they did a 2 hour test with fasting & number should be below120
I failed so they diagnosed me gestational diabetes this time
Poking 4 times a day which is not so good but my sugar is mostly under control rarely go above 120

Good luck !

Answer

I fasted before mine, my dr required that, and I passed it. Had to do the same two years ago for my firstborn.

Answer

You're not supposed to fast before the 1 hour glucose test. I had mine yesterday, ate a bowl of oatmeal prior to coming in, and my OB called me today to tell me that I passed. I don't think they're set up to make you fail v

Answer

My OB told me they only examine those patients with any risk factors because they were getting so many false positives with the one hour and making so many people take the three hour was a waste of time, money, and mother anxiety! Lol

Answer

I fasted before my one hour and passed. Mine had to be under 130. But I also don't eat sugar or carbs because of my pcos. I was actually surprised the sugary drink didn't shock my system and make me fail

Answer

I wasn't told to fast. I went in for my normal appointment and they said I could go do it right after if I wanted so no prep at all. My dr required under 137. I passed

Answer

Yeah you don't have to fast for the 1 hour, only the 3 hour! I was told to just eat protein, and I passed just fine :)

Answer

My dr told me no fasting, to eat like I normally do cause he wanted to see how my body took sugar on a daily basis. So my appt was at 9 am, I drunk an orange juice & ate heavy biscuits right before & passed.
