What You Can Expect
The glucose tolerance test is done in several steps. When you arrive at your doctor's office or lab, a member of your health care team will take a sample of blood from a vein in your arm. This blood sample will be used to measure your fasting blood glucose level. Type 2 diabetes If you're being tested for type 2 diabetes: You'll drink about 8 ounces (237 milliliters) of a syrupy glucose solution containing 2.6 ounces (75 grams) of sugar Two hours later, your blood glucose level will be measured again Gestational diabetes The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends performing a one-hour blood glucose challenge test to screen for gestational diabetes in low-risk pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Your doctor may recommend earlier screening if you're at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes. Risk factors may include: Gestational diabetes in an earlier pregnancy Family history of diabetes Obesity Having a medical condition associated with the development of diabetes, such as metabolic syndrome or polycystic ovary syndrome If your doctor determines you're at risk or you have a suspicious value on the one-hour test, you may be advised to take a three-hour glucose tolerance test. For the three-hour test: You will be asked to come to the test fasting — not having had anything to eat or drink for the previous 8 hours. A fasting blood sugar will be obtained. You'll drink about 8 ounces (237 milliliters) of a glucose solution containing 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of sugar. Your blood glucose level will be tested again one, two and three hours after you drink the solution. After drinking the glucose solution, you'll likely need to remain in the doctor's office or lab while you're waiting for your blood glucose level to be tested. Continue reading >>
Pregnancy: What To Expect At The Three Hour Glucose Test
So, I’m pregnant and I got the dreaded call that I failed my one hour glucose screening and needed to go in for the three hour glucose test. This hasn’t happened with either of my other two pregnancies, so of course I hit up Dr. Google for a breakdown of how things would go. Here’s what happens… fasting, then four blood draws in three hours. Ouch. I’m not fearful of needles and have had my blood drawn plenty of times during this pregnancy, but my veins are small and often the phlebotomist has trouble either finding a vein or getting enough blood. To help keep my mind occupied, I chronicled how the experience went and what I learned… What to Expect at the Three Hour Glucose Test Thoughts on the way to the test: Instead of drinking straight up glucose concentrate, these tests would be much more pleasant if it were candy you were told to eat. Hour 1, eat a Snickers bar, hour 2 eat a package of peanut butter cups, hour 3 enjoy a bag of Skittles. There should be glucose test clinics that are day spas or nail salons. For a week I’ve been trying to find time for a pedicure. Since I’m literally just sitting here, it’d be nice to kill two birds with one stone. WiFi in the waiting room. I could be working instead of typing this post out on my phone. Hour 1: Blood draw was smooth. Easy peasy. Chug down a high concentrate glucose drink in 5 minutes. Fruit punch as opposed to orange this time. Baby moving around like crazy. He must have been hungry. 30 min in: Feeling nice and light headed. Oy. It’s going to be a long morning. 45 min in: There’s a guy in the waiting room yelling at CNN about a political story that’s on. Praying that he please, please does not come sit next to me. Debating putting my ear buds in. 10 min until next draw: Dizzy, thirsty and bore Continue reading >>

My 3 Hour Glucose Test Disaster
If you’re here, you likely searched for something like: failed glucose test failed 3-hour glucose test what happens when you fail your glucose test what to expect at my glucose screenings sugar shock glucose test throwing up after glucose test And so I say: welcome! (Although I hope that what happened to me doesn’t happen to you!) Since I originally shared this experience, I have gone on to have two healthy, beautiful baby girls (read their birth stories here and here). Despite the dramatic moments I had at the glucose test, please be assured that it’s very uncommon and I recovered after a little rest and relaxation! A quick update on my story. During my first pregnancy, I failed my 1-hour glucose test, which meant I was ordered to undergo a second and more extended test. These glucose screenings are designed to diagnose high blood sugar during pregnancy (gestational diabetes). The first test involves drinking a liquid that contains glucose and after an hour, having your blood drawn to test the sugars. If you fail the first test, you have to do a tolerance test, which involves fasting and then another round of glucose screening with multiple blood draws. So, that brings us back to my experience! I showed up to my 3-hour test armed with my laptop and free wifi to pass the time, so I wasn’t too worried. I fasted and showed up at 8:15am. At 8:30am I was taken back and had my fasting blood sugar level drawn. I was handed the glucola, which was twice as sweet as the previous one, meaning it had 100g of sugar in it. Again, it didn’t taste bad, just syrup-y sweet. This time, I had 10 minutes to drink it and I chatted with the nurse while I sipped away. She told me some interesting facts: How you eat doesn’t necessarily affect your outcome. She has had large women c Continue reading >>
My 3 Hour Glucose Test Results Are In
*Read about my 1 hour glucose fail here…and my 3 hour test experience here.* So as I stated on Facebook last night that no one called me to tell me my 3 hour glucose test results after I was told that they would, whether the results were pass or fail. I stress out pretty easily so it’s safe to say I wasn’t able to relax until I found out what my numbers were. I figured if I failed, I could start my diet ASAP so that I could be as healthy as possible for this little baby and if I passed, then it could be celebration time. As of this morning…no phone call. I kept telling myself that, hopefully it was a good sign since normally the saying goes ‘no news is good news‘. But I still couldn’t help but think that maybe someone just forgot… Then I had the wonderful idea of logging onto my patient portal which allows me to see lab work (it wasn’t updated as of yesterday afternoon). And low and behold, my numbers were up: Blood Draw Numbers: Fasting = 90 (passing score is 65-94) Passed 1 hour = 197 (passing score is 65 – 179) Failed 2 hour = 136 (passing score is 65 – 154) Passed 3 hour = 51 (passing score is 65 – 139) Below Normal From the day of my test, my nurse told me that I was able to fail 1 out of the 4 and still pass. So I guess that’s why I didn’t receive a call (although it still would have been nice to calm my nerves…I won’t hold it against anyone though). Now before some of you freak out about how low my 3 hour score was, it just basically means that I can be hypoglycemic. I’ve always been that way and will sometimes get shaky if it’s been a long time since I’ve had something to eat. I just have to carry something with a bit of sugar in my purse if that feeling arises and it’s fairly easy to avoid by eating regular meals and not Continue reading >>
3 Hour Pregnancy Glucose Test… A Live Blog
Welcome to my 3 hour pregnancy glucose test. It was much different than last time I took it, and certainly more intense than my one hour glucose test from last week. I’ve never been one to “live blog” or “live tweet” an event, although I’ve seen so many people do it across the years at conferences, events and seminars. But since I’m trapped for a little over 3 hours in my OB/GYN’s office this morning, I figured, it was time I jotted down everything I was feeling, even if it’s only for archival purposes, or to help some poor soul with their dreaded pregnancy glucose test. Zero Hour (8:40am): Fortunately, I snagged a morning appointment instead of an afternoon and was rationed my much-sweeter-than-one-hour glucose drink which was red in color. Instead of tasting like mildly over-staturated orange Kool-aid, this red one tasted like 15 million melted ice-pops on steroids. Coming from the girl that can drink straight Grenadine (and LIKE it), that’s saying something. Because it was suuuuuper sweet. Anywho, having been starved of all food and water since midnight of last night, I was super thirsty and a little big #hangry. So down it went. Next, I took my position with a back bolster on the lobby couch and jacked into the interwebs. Four years ago, when I was pregnant with Red, I was allowed to leave the office and run errands, take a stroll, and generally burn off some sugar. This time, no dice. No leaving, no walking. We’re stuck in the office, because too many ladies were sugar crashing out and fainting. Or getting jittery and not being able to handle it. So in the interest of safety, we’re confined to the lobby. Bummer, I thought. But here’s the interesting thing. For the first time ever, I feel kinda sick after drinking it. I’m seated comfortab Continue reading >>
For The Pregnant Mom Who Failed Her Sugar Test… What You Really Want To Know
Recently, I got a text from a friend who is pregnant with twins. She said, “I just failed my sugar test and have to go back for the three-hour test… I’m sort of a sobbing mess about it right now, and I remember you saying you had gestational diabetes. Any words of advice?” It’s true. I actually had gestational diabetes with both of my pregnancies, though I’ve never written about it here. I was, of course, happy to share a little bit of my experience with my friend, but – since reaching through the phone to give her a hug wasn’t really an option – I mostly tried to encourage her that this wasn’t the WORST thing ever. I could absolutely relate to her feelings of worry, guilt, and sadness over the first (and, in my case, second) failed tests; but, for me, gestational diabetes ended up almost being a blessing in disguise. I was lucky enough to be able to manage mine through dietary changes both times and, in the end, delivered perfectly healthy little 7 pound babies. Other than the inconvenience and stress of having to prick my finger to take my sugars five times a day and not being able to eat donuts, gestational diabetes really was just a good incentive to eat healthier and get more physical activity during my pregnancies. I figured there are probably other mamas-to-be out there in similar situations (waiting to take the 3-hour test or recently diagnosed with GD), who might also benefit from hearing about my experience. So, below is my story with a few “words of advice” sprinkled in. First though, and hopefully this goes without saying, but just in case: I’m not a medical expert. If you have (or might have) gestational diabetes, you need to work with your doctor to make the necessary changes in your diet (and, possibly, figure out medications) to Continue reading >>
Gestational Diabetes And Screening In Pregnancy
When it comes to the 40 weeks spent carrying baby, the body goes through dramatic changes. Some of these changes are perfectly in sync with carrying and developing the fetus, other changes are harmful the baby and to mom’s body. One such change is the development of gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes carries the same symptoms and problems as other forms of diabetes not associated with pregnancy. The body loses the ability to handle food sugars and insulin development when pregnant. The onset of gestational diabetes can lead to hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and complications with fetal growth and birth. Glucose Screening and Mom At your first visit your doctor will find out if you are at risk for diabetes. If, for example, there is a family history then you will usually get tested foir diabetes right away. Without risks, then diabetes screening will often occur during the 26th to 28th week of gestation. This preliminary glucose screening, called the glucose challenge screening test, will involve mom drinking a special liquid full of glucose. After 1 hour, mom will have blood drawn and the levels of glucose in the blood will be recorded. Blood glucose levels will most often be the highest 1 hour after consuming a high sugar meal or drink. A level below 140 mg/dL is usually considered normal A level above 140 mg/dL is usually considered elevated Some doctors consider levels above 130-135 mg/dL elevated About 15-25% of pregnant women will have an elevated glucose level on the 1 hour glucose test. If this preliminary test is passed, the pregnant mom will be cleared of having any likelihood of gestational diabetes unless urine testing shows some sign of glucose in the urine farther into the pregnancy. If this preliminary test is failed, mom will have to undergo a 3-Ho Continue reading >>
Glucose Screening Tests During Pregnancy
TWO-STEP TESTING During the first step, you will have a glucose screening test: You DO NOT need to prepare or change your diet in any way. You will be asked to drink a liquid that contains glucose. Your blood will be drawn 1 hour after you drink the glucose solution to check your blood glucose level. If your blood glucose from the first step is too high, you will need to come back for a 3-hour glucose tolerance test. For this test: DO NOT eat or drink anything (other than sips of water) for 8 to 14 hours before your test. (You also cannot eat during the test.) You will be asked to drink a liquid that contains glucose, 100 grams (g) . You will have blood drawn before you drink the liquid, and again 3 more times every 60 minutes after you drink it. Each time, your blood glucose level will be checked. Allow at least 3 hours for this test. ONE-STEP TESTING You need to go to the lab one time for a 2-hour glucose tolerance test. For this test: DO NOT eat or drink anything (other than sips of water) for 8 to 14 hours before your test. (You also cannot eat during the test.) You will be asked to drink a liquid that contains glucose (75 g). You will have blood drawn before you drink the liquid, and again 2 more times every 60 minutes after you drink it. Each time, your blood glucose level will be checked. Allow at least 2 hours for this test. Continue reading >>
Glucose Tolerance Tests
It seems as though every pregnant woman experiences nervousness prior to going through the dreaded glucose tolerance test between 24-28 weeks. It’s got a bad reputation among the mother community and now I completely understand why. When I was pregnant with my first child, I was terribly scared, but passed the 1 hour test with flying colors. Easy peasy. Fast forward to this pregnancy and it all changed. I failed the 1 hour. So, how does the 1 hour glucose tolerance test work, you ask? You fast from midnight the night before the test. Some practices will allow you to drink water during this fasting period, others won’t. Go to the doctor/hospital and drink a non-carbonated, artificially flavored/dyed beverage that contains 50 grams of glucose within 5 minutes. Then, you wait for 1 hour at the doctor’s office (bring a book!). They then draw your blood to test the blood sugar level. You usually get your results in the next 1-3 days. Results and what they mean: If you get higher than a 135 mg/dL then you have to come back another day and take the 3 hour glucose test. During this pregnancy with baby #2, I got a 151 mg/dL after the 1 hour glucose test. Three days later, I’m in for the 3 hour glucose test. How does the 3 hour glucose tolerance test work? You fast from midnight the night before the test. Some practices will allow you to drink water during this fasting period, others won’t. I opted to not drink any water, for minimal affect on my test. Go to the doctor/hospital and have your finger pricked to insure your fasting blood sugar level is between 70-105 mg/dL. (Mine was 77 mg/dL, enabling me to proceed with the test.) If so, they draw your blood for initial fasting levels. Then you drink a non-carbonated, artificially flavored/dyed beverage that contains 100 Continue reading >>
Your Pregnancy And What You Need To Know About Glucose Tests
Pregnancy If you’re pregnant, then sometime between 24 and 28 week mark, your doctor will have you come in for a Glucose Challenge Test (GCT). This is a test to screen whether you might have gestational diabetes, a high blood sugar condition that starts or is diagnosed during pregnancy and will need to be treated. As far as tests go, this is a whole lot easier than your calculus midterm exam in high school. You basically drink something that tastes like grossly sweet soda (which is much better cold) and an hour later, you’ll have your blood drawn. Some doctors will give you the liquid to take at home and others will require you to drink it in the office. Your doctor just wants to make sure you are processing sugar properly. A high level in your blood may indicate that your body is not. Now I had no problem with this test during my first and second pregnancies so when it came to my third, I declared myself a glucose champion (I’m sure the trophy is around here somewhere) and I wasn’t concerned at all. Which is why I thought nothing of consuming a gigantic sugary scone before my Glucose Challenge Test. Do not do this. This is a very bad idea because I failed the test. On the upside, I did get a B in calculus. If like me, you fail your Glucose Challenge Test, don’t panic. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have gestational diabetes (remember, it’s just a screening test), but you do now have to take a 3 hour Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT). If you already have children at home, think of it as a 3 hour getaway to surf Facebook and Twitter without interruption. And this getaway comes with a refreshing cocktail! Okay, the drink stinks but at least you’re getting a little alone time. With the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT), you will have to fast beforehand and that supe Continue reading >>
Don’t Eat The Cucumber And Other Helpful Tips For The Gestational Diabetes Tests
This is not my first rodeo. Three pregnancies in four years and you’d think I could walk through the pre-natal care routine backwards with my eyes closed, but no. No, I made some rookie mistakes last week and I want to share them so that a) you don’t do the same thing b) I remember for the next time, if there is one. Just writing the words “next time” right now makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and find a corner to rock in. But I digress. The one-hour gestational diabetes glucose test: It has a reputation that precedes it, and any formerly pregnant woman anywhere will strike up conversation about that blessed orange drink. First of all, the drink for this test is not as bad as lore makes it out to be. (Isn’t that true of so many things in pregnancy and birth? Hype does not equal reality.) I remember being pleasantly surprised during my first pregnancy to discover that it is carbonated and pretty much tastes like Orange Crush soda. Even for a non-pop drinker, I don’t think it is as much of a shock to the system as we preggos like to yack about. For those who don’t know, you drink the soda, wait for an hour, and then they draw a vile of blood and test your blood sugar level. If it is lower than 140, you pass. Higher, you fail. The one-hour test has no official dietary guidelines except eating nothing between the glucose drink and your blood draw. Most practices and online pregnancy forums will tell you to watch your sugar and carb intake the day of the test, and to stick to a lot of protein. My appointment for the one-hour test was Monday at 2:40 (rookie mistake number one). I had eggs for breakfast, a no-tortilla Chipotle burrito bowl for lunch, and cucumber slices for an afternoon snack before leaving for my midwife’s office (rookie mistake Continue reading >>
Preparing For The 3 Hour Glucose Test During Pregnancy...
Hello, Moms! I am expecting baby number 3 in November and recently found out that I did not pass my 1 hour glucose test. My test results show 156, and I believe the cut off was around 132 (and no, I really don't have much of a clue as to what that all means other than the fact that I am over). I did not have this problem with my first 2 children. I passed the 1 hour test with no problem on each of them. Just some background on me, I do LOVE sugar and sugary foods. I always have. I do try to eat them in moderation, but my diet mostly consists of items that can be really high in carbs (pastas, breads, fruits, etc.). I don't eat a lot of veggies or meats. I eat tons of dairy (cheese is good for a low carb diet, but milk is not so good for a low carb diet!). I do take my vitamins on a regular basis to help fill any gaps. So, back to the 1 hour test. I had that test a couple of weeks ago, first thing in the morning. Fasting was not required, but I chose to go in and do the 1 hour test prior to eating breakfast, because I thought it would be more accurate, and I didn't want to end up with a false positive. I DID have a few bites of ice cream the night before, when our family got Dairy Queen as a special treat, but surely a few bites the night before wouldn't have given a false positive, right? I have read that sometimes blood sugar can be all out of whack first thing in the morning. Could that have contributed to my results? As I say these things, I do realize that I COULD have gestational diabetes this time around. I don't mean to assume that I don't, I'm just surprised since it wasn't a problem with my first two kiddos. This baby is a normal size, and I have actually gained less pregnancy weight with this baby than I did with either of my other two pregnancies at this stage Continue reading >>
I Failed The Glucola
Last week, I left you hanging about the results of my glucola. One of my readers emailed me: “Damn cliff hanger!! I want to know your results. Lol. This is why I binge watch tv shows after the whole season is out. The suspense is killing me.” Who knew a glucose tolerance test could be described as “suspenseful?!” (other than me, of course…) I was certainly curious to get the results of my test. When the lab technician said they could run the analysis in office, I decided to stick around for a few extra minutes. (Plus, I just had to finish the riveting article I was reading in Alaska Sporting Magazine…) I was sure I had passed, so when the lab tech said: “You should have studied better.” I knew he was joking. But he wasn’t. I got a 141. Passing is <140. I was kind of shocked. I failed the glucola. Now what? Now, the 1-hour, 50 gram glucola is NOT diagnostic of gestational diabetes on its own. It is a screening test to identify those at “high risk” and determine who should get further testing. He said my next step was to come back again for the 3-hour test. Of course, since I specialize in gestational diabetes, I knew all that. I had already discussed testing options with my doctor and had decided that regardless of the results of the 1-hour, 50g screening that I would check my blood sugar at home with a glucometer for 2 weeks just for my own knowledge. In fact, I already had my prescription for blood sugar testing supplies in hand before I drank the glucola. Still, I walked out of the office feeling like a failure. How could I not feel that way? The official medical terminology is “passing” or “failing.” I cursed under my breath as I made my way to the car. A million thoughts raced through my head: Should I have opted out of the dumb test an Continue reading >>
