Question 1

what specific foods can i eat before glucose test during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

FASTING: To get accurate result of glucose, you should be fasting  before blood test. Just eat regular food.

Question 2

how much blood is drawn for the 1 hr glucose test during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

1 tube: They only need one tube to test the glucose level. There are 7-10 cc's in a tube, that's less than 2 teaspoons. Sometimes doctors do an additional test during that same draw, like a cbc, and they need a second tube for that.

Question 3

my wife is 12 weeks into pregnancy. she just done 2 hr glucose test & the result is 3.7 during fast and 8.3 after 2 hours.she is 30yrs old.

Accepted Answer

Glucose test: If your wife has not been told by her doctor that the blood sugars are OK she needs to call her/him to find out.

If it turns out she has diabetes and is pregnant she can still have the baby with careful control of diabetes.

Question 4

only one high blood sugar following a glucose test during pregnancy. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you did the one-hour test, it means you need to do the definitive 3 hour test. If it was one elevation on the 3 hour test, then you are not a gestational diabetic (unless your one was a really elevated fasting glucose). It is a good idea to watch your diet and carbs if you had one elevation tho.

Question 5

my glucose test came back 100 is that bad? diabetic pain in feet is it located on top bottom or both?

Accepted Answer

100 : Blood sugar is fine.  Neuropathy is treated with different medications and some supplements.

Question 6

concerned. my fasting glucose test came back negative bt i have pocs, am thin & have symptoms of type 2 diabetes can i still have insulin resistance?

Accepted Answer

Insulin resistance. : Glucose N in thin PCOS. Asks could I have insulin resistance. ANS: yes but not likely and detailed testing for IR rarely done in practice. Keep up the good work.

Question 7

a glucose test i took came back 488 30 min after i ate could i have diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes: You are very ill. You have dangerously, even life threateningly high blood sugar. Please get to medical care today for your diabetes.

Question 8

how far back can a glucose test detect? from a single blood draw, can they detect sugar levels other than what is current?

Accepted Answer

HbA1c: Can detect your average glucose over the past three mos., although it is weighted toward the most recent time period.

Question 9

i received a blood glucose test about a month ago, and my number came up at 150. i went back today after a 12hr fast, and was 108. am i pre-diabetic?

Accepted Answer

Maybe (not) . . .: Pre-diabetes is a great term but definitions are rather loose. If checking glucose, best to draw blood after fasting all night long. Normal result should be less than 100. Impaired fasting glucose is 100-125. Diabetes is higher. Or check A1c which gives info re average sugar over past 3 months. Normal is less than 5.7. 5.7-64 is pre-diabetes or at elevated risk. Higher is consistent w/diabetes.

Question 10

hi, last week i had a blood test & my tsh was 0.75.yesterday,i had a glucose test & they drew blood again for thyroid (not sure why).this time i was fasting & my tsh came back 2.55.could there be such a big difference between fasting & not fasting?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Although no special preparations are necessary for the tsh test, it can vary somewhat later in the day so morning is preferable.  If you had other thyroid blood tests were they all also normal? We usually do not ask our patients to fast for a tsh test.
