I recently went in for the 1-hour GTT and had fasted for it. Well, I failed so now they are sending me in for the 3-hour GTT. Just wondering what you think my chances are of not having GDM? My brother has diabetes but I have not been diagnosed with it in previous pregnancies. I am only 9 weeks away from giving birth. I will be fasting for the 3-hour one also.

All the women except me are diabetics in my family, and I failed the 1hr test. Almost all my friends failed the 1hr as well. I passed the 3hr. Im sure youll be ok. Keep up eating well, add some cinnamin to your breakfast every day (it helps regulate blood sugar). Good luck.

I failed my one hour the first time and then passed the 3 hour...then like a month later I was showing sugar in my urine so they did it again and I failed...My diabetes was controlled by diet (Thank God no shots) But the diet was so bland and I was so hungry all the time because my calories were restricted :( Best of luck to you!

I failed my one hour but passed my three hour. I was told a lot of women fail the one hour and not to worry.

I failed my 1-hour and just about failed the 3 hour, my dr. said I was a boderline to having GDB. All I did was watch my diet and tried to eat the best I could just in case ;)
