3 hr Glucose test!
I had blood work done last week and since I'm obese they tested me early for gestational diabetes. Well I had the lap band surgery and so I can tolerate the glucose test fine (there was no problems with my last pregnancy which was after band surgery). I recieved a letter in the mail today saying I was anemic and needed to take iron. Ok I can handle that, sucks... but ok. Then there was a lab order for a 3 hour glucose tolerance test. I am assuming I didn't pass the first one, but they didn't say anything about it, just sent me lab orders. I will call tomorrow to find out my numbers and such, but I'm pretty worried now. Has anyone had the 3 hour come out fine if the 1 hour didn't? Obviously the last thing I want are any complications with the baby, so I'm a little stressed.
I would try not to worry. I failed my 1 hour and did fine on my 3 hour, as did my bff. They say that lots of people do not pass their 1 hour. Just relax! I am sure all will be well. And if for some reason it isn't, you will take that as it comes. GD can be managed pretty easily! You can do it girl!!
