Failed glucose test?

Question

The standard range on my test results says “70-139mg” my results are 140. I have a check up in a few days and am really hoping my doctor says 140 is close enough to be considered fine. I really don’t want to have to do the 3 hour test. Other sites I’ve read that 140 or less is considered fine.

Answer

I have GDM for second pregnancy. No reason really other than it just happens. My A1C prior to pregnancy was perfect. I’m healthy weight and activity level. So it does just happen. But it keeps me eating healthier and I didn’t gain much weight the first time and hoping not to this time as well! It sucks sometimes but overall it isn’t bad. So if you fail, don’t stress it!

Answer

My doctor cuts off at 130 and I was 131- she made me go through the 3-hour. Her reasoning was that if it’s already elevated at that point that IF it was gestational diabetes then it would progress and be caught 2 weeks later at the three hour. I passed the three hour with flying colors so fingers crossed for you.

Answer

I failed my 1 hour, my Dr used the 130 cutoff and I was 142. I have to do the 3 hour on Monday and not looking forward to it but would rather have a healthy baby and body but man will I miss my pasta if I fail 😂

Answer

My “normal” is 130 and below. 
I’d say they probably make you retake it.

Answer

I failed it by 1 with my first and they made me do the 3 hour. This time I filed by 10. Tomorrow is my 3 hour. I passed it with the first, hoping it’s fine because I really don’t want to test my levels constantly.

Answer

Ugh, so close! I’m sorry! You’ll have to ask your doctor. I know some doctors (like mine) are starting to use 135 as the cutoff even though the “computer” range is up to 140 because of newer evidence that it may be a better cutoff.

Answer

I failed my one hour again this time (just got the call today) and have to do the 3 hour. Same thing happened with my daughter years ago and 3 hour came up fine so hoping the same for this one but blah, still a pain!!
