Can Gestational Diabetes affect only one eye with blurred vision?I just had my 1 hour GD testing done last week & it came back as 171 when it should be 140. I have to go back and do a 3 hr glucose test to confirm GD. Now I'm starting to put together why I'm always thirsty and why my son is measuring pretty big. My question is can you have blurred vision in only ONE eye as a symptom of GD? Also, if you have failed your 1 hr GD test...what was your numbers? and did you fail the 3 hour one?

It can.
I didn't have this problem but a friend of mine did.. Yes it can happen.

Yes, blurred vision can be a symptom of GD and it doesn't matter if it's one eye or both. However, sometimes vision changes in pregnancy even for people without GD, so just make sure you tell your doctor about it.
Many people fail the first but pass the second test. They will be looking to see if your high sugar can fall down below a certain benchmark by the 2nd and 3rd hour. Honestly, a 171 isn't too promising, that is quite high. So even if you do pass the 2nd test you should adjust your eating to help with that sugar spike.
