I failed my 1 hr glucose test. Threshold was 139mg and I had 150mg. I now have to take the 3 hr test but was also given the option of daily finger pricking to track blood sugar due to my history with passing out during blood draws.

I’ve never done the finger pricking but it almost sounds worse to me. Has anyone done the finger prick? How bad is it? I’m just not sure which option I want to go with.

UPDATE: did the 3 hour and it went fine! The glucose drink is A LOT more sugary than the 1 hr and that was the only tough part. Waiting on final results— keeping fingers crossed it’s not GD.
