Did anyone fail the first time around? I've read where this test may not be too necessary but I don't understand why take it if that is the case. I'm really scared about gestasational diabetes.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I just browsed some info and it looks like, depending on the cutoff used for your positive, as many as 20-25% of women fail the 1-hour glucose test, but only 4-7% of women actually have GD.

I'm still reading through that article I linked, and it looks like you should have 3 days of unrestricted diet before doing the 3-hr test. Maybe the candy bar is to counteract any effort to eat super super healthy for those three days and avoid a false negative?? that's all I can figure anyway.

No & the thing is I wasn't going to go the day I did & I ate a little bit of cereal (honey nut cherrios) & then I stopped eating it & decided to go to the test so I fixed some scrambled eggs with cheese.

It prob was but I don't understand it actually how it could mess it up. The next one I have to fast which is what I'm not looking forward too at ALL. I don't do well without food in the a.m. Then to have to sit there for 3 hrs getting blood drawn every hour.
Did u take the 3 hr one?

I failed the first test by 8 points and had to take the 3-hour. It was long, boring, and uncomfortable. But, I passed it just fine. Most women do pass the second test. Try not to worry.

what do they do in regards to taking the test? I haven't had one yet. My first official appointment is on the 15th of this month.
Do they just take a heap of blood or is it more than that. And why does it take so long?

I'm praying for that to happen as well. I've been trying not to worry.
You won't have to take it unitl about 24 to 28 weeks. And they give you a sugary drink to drink & you wait a hour & they draw blood. If ya fail onto the 3 hr waiting test same thing but draw your blood every hour. I had other stuf checked as well.
