ugh I failed!

The drs lab called and said I failed my glucose test. I have to take the 3 hr tomorrow. I got a little sick the first go around so I'm nervous about having to handle more sugar.     :(

It seems as though the 1 hr has a pretty high fail rate. I failed and took my 3 hr on Friday, just found out this morning I passed. I have no clue why, but I didn't feel as crummy during the 3 hr as I did for the 1 hour. Maybe it was just random...no idea but hopefully it'll be the same for you! It was just no fun sitting there for 3 hours and getting blood drawn 4x! Good luck!!

Uh oh! I forgot about the multiple blood draws. I already feel bad for the poor phlebotomist that has to deal with my pitiful veins.

Yeah there's 4 :( One before you drink the glucose and then a draw every hour.  As sad as it is, I didn't mind because it broke up the hours lol. It was sooooo boring!! Good luck, you'll do great!

I had an easier time with the three-hour too...odd, because I am a major needle-phobe.  I remember being a little nauseous after drinking the "juice" at the one hour test, but I didn't feel that way during the three-hour, maybe because my stomach was empty.  And they gave me the same drink as the first time.  Ask them if they can take you back and do your first draw and the drink before you do the paperwork...at least it will save you a little bit of time there if they can (my lab did it for me).  Bring plenty to do - a good book is great, a tablet if you have one and they have wifi is even better.  Good luck!!!

 This goes for me, too! I threw up immediately after having my blood drawn for the 1 hour and felt horrible. For some reason, the 3 hour test was much easier on my stomach and the drink I was given had a better flavor (lemon lime). Good luck!!!

I failed the 1 hour by 30 points and passed the 3 hour with flying colors! Its hard not to be nervous, but for some reason I felt better taking the 3 hour then the 1 hour. Good luck to you!
