Friday was my Glucose test and I failed. By one stinking point! :(
So... this Friday I get to go back and do the long screening. So not fair!
In the meantime, I'm doing everything I can to eat very little sugar and carbs. I'm positive carbs blew it for me last time because I ate pasta the night before. Oops!
I better NOT fail this long one because I can't cut out the sugar for long. It's practically all I crave!!
Anyone else fail the first test and do fine with the full screening?
I need to hear some success stories!

I think MOST people who fail the first one pass the second one, especially those that were borderline like you were. Usually, the tolerance they accept for the 3 hour is higher than for the 1 hour, so you should be fine!!
I have a few friends that failed the first test but passed the second. :)
That sucks! I personally don't have experience with that, but I have friends who failed the short test by a small margin like you did and passed the 3 hour one. I hope that's the case for you!
I failed the first one by a point or two and past the second one with flying colors.
I failed my first one by 15 points and passed my 3 hour last week..you will do great jut stay away from sugar a few days before..good luck
I too failed the first by a lot! So much that my dr skipped the second one all together and put me on the GD diet. I was really upset about this initially but now realize it was a blessing. I ended up loosing about 20lbs from the diet and ended up weighing less than my pre pregnancy weight. Because I lost those extra pounds I didn't have problems with swelling and felt pretty great through out my 3rd trimester. I am sure you'll be fine and pass the second one but if you don't, it's not the end of the world! Follow the diet and know you're doing what's best for your little one and yourself.
