very disappointed

MistyLou

I just got the dreaded phone call that I failed the 1 hour glucose test and now need to take the 3 hour one. I don't think I'm gonna make it that long without eating.
I already have issues with faint spells from not eating every 2-3 hrs. I'm super nervous about this.

Lots of water. Eat before bed... do the test in the morning..

MistyLou

Those are my plans.

And fiber helps regulate your blood sugar, so try a handful of plain almonds the night before too.

I was the same way. I got really weak if I didnt eat every hr so I was scared I was going to pass out from not eating that long but I didnt. I had my daughters father go with me cuz I figured id b to weak to drive. but everything went well that day, besides the fact that I failed.. good luck

MistyLou

Trying counting your carbs and only 5 servings in one meal... Add vegetables to fill you up... Those are called the cheat foods no carbs... Good luck...

I made my appointment at 7 am at the lab to drink the stuff and wait for 3 hours that way i wasn't spending all day hungry, I slept through most of the fasting. I failed my 3 hour one as well I wish you the best of luck. I just had a 2 hour meeting with the diabetes specialist, I hope it doesn't come come to that for you but if it does let me know if you have any questions. good luck.

For your last meal also eat a lot of carbs like pasta!!! it will hold you over longer.
