Failed my glucose test- What are my chances?

Question

Ugh! Failed my glucose test- my blood sugar was 166. I don’t know how though! I eat a healthy diet- no soda or juice or sugary drinks or cookies or anything! I do eat a lot of carbs though. 
I go back for the 3 hour test next week. What are my chances of actually having gestational diabetes?

Answer

Heard it can be genetics😳🤨 and it has nothing to do with your diet

Answer

I failed the one hour and mine was at 165, and I passed the 3 hour too!

Answer

It is genetics and hormonal linked. Only a small percentage of GD is because mother is overweight or eats poorly. Good luck.

Answer

Carbs convert to glucose in the bloodstream. If you’re eating high glycemic foods like potatoes, white pasta, white bread, that will affect your insulin response and blood sugar.
Look up glycemic index and you’ll see what I mean. A boiled potato converts to sugar almost as quick as just eating sugar!
Pregnancy makes this all a little more extreme for some which is why so many people get a diagnosis in pregnancy.
Lower your high glycemic carbohydrates, and replace with fibrous carbs like vegetables (and lots of ‘em to stay fuller!) and add in some high protein and good fats like nuts, cottage cheese. 
I’ve never still been hungry after downing two boiled eggs with half an avocado!

Answer

Did you eat before the 1 hour test? Were you stressed? This could have affected your numbers. It will all be ok, even if you have GD. I had it with my first and not with the next two- I’m a fit former college athlete. GD is genetic based on the placenta.

Answer

I failed my one hour last Tuesday, and passed my two hour on Thursday. I literally pushed fluids and fasted prior to my two hour.
(My doctors do a two hour as it easier to tolerate and less likely to make people sick compared to the three hour)

Answer

I failed the 1 hour mine was 148. And passed the 3 hr

Answer

It’s got nothing to do with your diet. I’ve always been very fit and eat healthy. Ive continued to be active and eat well the entire pregnancy and still got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It’s your placenta and nothing you did. And trust me, whenever I’ve gone to the doctor or tell someone I have it, their first response is “you do not look like someone who would have diabetes... you’re so healthy” 🤦🏼‍♀️ trust me, I didn’t expect it either. Lol

Answer

It has nothing to do with your diet. It’s actually the efficiency of the placenta. Hope you pass!

Answer

I failed the one hour at 168. I took the three hour and passed. I bet you pass the three hour as well.
