Failed my 1hr GD test

I just got the message from my doctor that I failed the 1 hr gestational diabetes test. I don't know why I'm feeling so down about the news but I am. I didn't even miss the cutoff by that much - 149. So now I need to go in tomorrow morning to take the 3 hr test, which honestly sounds like a form of torture. Fasting for at least 8 hours followed by a sugary drink and being unable to eat for another 3 hours while almost 30 weeks pregnant? And to make matters worse, I almost never eat or drink sweet things so the syrup drink usually makes me gag.

Sorry for the rant but I'm just feeling very frustrated right now.

    Take something to read while you wait. The sitting around between blood draws was the worst part from me.

    I'm sorry that you have to go through the 3hr test. One of My cousins failed the 1hr but still passed the 3hr. So hopefully that will be what happens for you as well.

    Thanks everyone! I went in for the test this morning and it was a bit painful (I have really bad veins so the techs had to be creative) and exhausting but it's finished. Luckily, one of my friends gave me the fantastic advice of bringing food with me so I could eat immediately after. I don't remember the last time I was that hungry so cheese and crackers were a welcome sight.
