The GTT you can't eat for 12 hours before hand, they give do a blood test, you have the drink then you have to wait 2 hours and then they take another bt.

I did mine on Friday and they should have my results today, but I can't get hold of anyone will try again tomorrow.

The GTT one I did have to make an appointment for.
In Palmy they open at 7.30am so I was able to go before work.]]> Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:42:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35319&PID=1133435&title=glucose-tolerance-test#1133435 <![CDATA[glucose tolerance test : You should be fine doing the test...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35319&PID=1133390&title=glucose-tolerance-test#1133390 Author: fairy1

You should be fine doing the test on wednesday for the results to be back by Monday.
I think the GTT takes 2 hours (Polycose takes 1hr) so they might do appointments. You could ring the medlab and check about appointments.]]> Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:05:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35319&PID=1133390&title=glucose-tolerance-test#1133390 <![CDATA[glucose tolerance test : hey i have my midwife appointment...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35319&PID=1133349&title=glucose-tolerance-test#1133349 Author: themummy

hey i have my midwife appointment next monday - if i do my GTT on wednesday will they have the results to her by then? i could do it in the morning tomorrow, but i start work at 11, so that might involve getting up extra early :-/

do you need to make an appointment to do it?

also, does it take much longer than the 1hr?

I've failed the polycose test, done the tolerance test and passed. I am/was deemed high risk for gestational diabetes as my mother had it with all 3 of her pregnancies. With my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies I skipped the first test and went straight to the 2hr one...passed with no problems.

Not all high polycose tests will lead to high glucose tolerance tests - but there is of course a chance. How high if you don't mind me asking was your polycose?

 

My initial polycose result in first pregnancy was 10.5. Then the 2 hour glucose tolerance test came back at 9.5 at 2 hours. SO yes lead on to GD.

 

I do know however, 3 other friends who had high polycose tests, but normal GTT's and were diagnosed with "imparied glucose tolerance" rather than gestational diabetes.

 

Probably not much help though sorry!
