Anna with this bub my 1hr test came back at 9.4 and i had not eaten a thing in over 14 hours before it. I was stressed to the max. I was sent for the 2 hour test and it came back perfectly normal and under the right levels.
My mum also has type 2 diabetes. My sister had GD in all 3 of her pregnancies...i had it in none.
Anna, try not to stress about it. Chances are it will come back fine during the 2 hour test. If your levels were 8.4 after one hour, it's looking good that they will be below 8 after 2 hours which is the indicator they use. The fact that you had something to eat will also have changed the results as your next test (2hour) will be a fasting test. I failed mine and have GD, but my 3 levels throughout the test were 5.6, 10.1, 8.4. I've been dealing with it for 10weeks now and everything is fine.
Good luck...and don't get stressed because that pushes up your blood sugar level too!!!
Anna.. I had high blood sugar for in the first test for my first and second pregnancy and they both came back normal after the 2 hr... Fingers crossed for you!! Keep us posted!!
Anna
its is quite common to fail GCT and then be nothing wrong
I failed the GCT with my twins- didnt have to do the next test as i had them instead- oops
I also failed it this time with my singleton. Had to do the two hour test- its no biggie and passed it no probs. So maybe we just take a little longer than the recommended time for our sugar to return to normal after that 'yummy' drink!
I was pretty confident that all was going to be fine as well, before i did the second test - no signs or symptons of GD. My mum also has type 2 db as well. But all is good here
Just like Kimbaz, I was 9.4, I had cereal before I think, but they were concerned it was so high. Then had the 75g test and was fine. I think if you haven't had it before you should be fine, it's been the same for me last two pregnancies too.x xoo
i have had GD and now teeter on the edge of type 2 in normal every day life ( i have diabetes on both maternal and paternal sides ) i think you should be fine though that number will go down even further after 2 hrs and fasting as well but in saying that even if the 2 hr test comes back out of range GD does goes away soon as bub is here and is not to bad to manage in my experience to you it can be a scaary time not knowing
I'm sure someone else will have some great info for you.
