I did not think the 1 hour glucose test was bad at all. The drink tasted like fruit punch, they took some blood and done. Easy in and out in an hour. I don't know why people think it is so bad. I of course read a lot on here before I went because and I was scared. But it really isn't bad.

Fast forward to results ...I failed my one hour glucose test. I got a 152 and they consider passing a 139. So of course the paranoia sets in. A lot of people fail but said they ate cereal for breakfast or drank Starbucks etc. well I fasted, didn't eat or drink anything for 8 hours and I still failed. I google and searched all kinds of things. Again everyone says the 3 hour glucose test is miserable.

3 hour glucose test....I have to admit it isn't fun but definitely manageable. I watched Netflix to pass the time. I fasted for 12 hours but slept most of that time and did the test first thing in the morning. They took blood, drank an even sweeter fruit punch drink and went to wait an hour. Take blood every hour 3 times from there. My nurse was great and I barely felt each prick. The worst part was after it was all over and I was on my way home the sugar CRASH.... I started sweating, got really hot, dizzy and nauseous. But I ate some crackers and raisins I had at work and I felt better. Best advice bring something to immediately eat and water for the second it is over.

So then I wait for what feels like forever for results ...... 2 days later I get the call I passed!!! So relieved. But wanted to share my story because reading everyone else's experience on here about the glucose tests really really really helped me from the time I found out I failed to just now finding out I passed. Thanks to anyone who read all this 😊😊 and for anyone who shared their experience with the test!
