Has anyone passed the glucose tolerance test?

I had a one hour glucose tolerance test but now my provider is making me do the three hour one. I know you can pass if you drink a lot of water and walk around but that’s something that they don’t let you do when taking it so I was just wondering if anyone has passed without doing any of that?

I passed during both of my pregnancies and never did any of that. I actually had like French toast, an energy drink, and a soda an hour or two before my first one

Passed my one hour, fasted two hours prior and for breakfast I just had a breakfast biscuit no juice just water, previous pregnancy I failed cuz I had oatmeal with cinnamon and sugar and milk so my sugar was extremely high but I fasted and passed the three hour

I passed and had some coffee with creamer before. They actually were too busy to notice me walking around. I totally forgot I wasn’t allowed to 🤷🏻‍♀️

I passed both my pregnancies by fasting and only drinking water. They told me not to walk around so I didn’t. If you have GD you want to know so you can manage it. I would listen to their instructions as much as possible to get accurate results.

i failed my 1 hour but passed my 3 hour. i didn’t change anything. the goal isn’t to pass it’s to rule out gestational diabetes so keep the same routine and don’t do anything fancy

With my daughter I failed the 1 hour test so I had to do the 3 hour one. I had the fasting one in the morning, slept in that day, went to the appointment and passed it, ate as soon as I was done lol. I wouldn't do anything that the doctors don't say you should do just so you know for sure whether you have it or not so you can keep yourself and baby safe the rest of the pregnancy

I have. I threw it up twice the first pregnancy and they let me sit there till I got one down 🤣🤣 third time was a charm. For my other two I felt super sick drinking it but I kept it down first go. Sitting in a chair all 3 times.

The test is to see if you and your baby need extra care and consideration for the rest of your pregnancy. Don't cheat the test! It's possible to pass, just be your normal (pregnant) self and see how it goes. You'll do fine. Or you won't, and you'll make a plan with your doctor to do something different/better for your baby. And that's fine too. 🙂

I’ve always passed without changing anything and I’ve never had to fast either. It’s meant to catch GD, so if you haven’t passed, I’d be more inclined to address the condition, not necessarily find a way to pass or beat the test, if that makes sense. I lost my first baby to another condition, preeclampsia, but I would have rather failed some test and been properly treated and monitored than be concerned with not failing. Good luck!

UK here and only done the 3 hour test. Passed it sitting down. Like others have said, please don't try and cheat it. Do what the drs tell you to. If you have got gestational diabetes it's better to have the care you and your baby need rather than risk something happening, you will never forgive yourself

I passed. Try not to eat 2 hours before. But before that you can eat and drink hella water. Keep the sugar low like soda. But cholesterol don’t matter so eggs sausage whatever make it good
