How do I read glucose tolerance test results?

I failed the 1 hour glucose test but passed the 2 hour. Does this mean that I have gestational diabetes? Please advise as I'm worried.

You will be asked to monitor your blood sugar at home and see a dietician before retaking another OGTT. just abstain from sugary drinks like juices, bottled juices, milk etc and cut portion for food that are high in carbs like rice, noodles, pasta, potatoes, kway teow, beehoon, bread etc. can eat but reduce in portion significantly. you can replace the calories by taking more protein and veg. For fruits, try to eat berries or kiwis. Grapes, watermelon, oranges are high in sugar, so limit yourself. You can google on diabetic diet online for more info.

Yes you have gestational diabetes. They will be asking you to see a specialist and will advise you on how to manage it throughout your pregnancy. For now, cut down on carbo, and stop desserts, sweets and sweet drinks:)

It looks like u failed 1 of it . Gotta watch your sugar over the couple of weeks . Maybe just drink plain water ? No sweet drinks
