Prepping for Glucose Screening?

Question

Now I’m questioning my cookie decisions! 😄 But tomorrow is the 1 hr glucose screening. What ways to did you gals help pass the test? Or is there no last minute cramming for this one?   I definitely haven’t been as strict about avoiding sweets as I know wish I had! Nervous! 😬

Answer

Well you either have gestational diabetes or you don't do there's really no way to pass the test if you have it. Just do what the Dr says before the test.

Answer

I have mine tomorrow morning as well! Good luck!

Answer

I ate breakfast (eggs, sausage) before mine and didn’t pass. Had the three hour one today (MISERABLE) and passed it with flying colors! Fasting is probably your best option if you’re taking it early. And don’t have dessert tonight.. or pasta.

Answer

My doc told me to not have anything not even water after midnight so I stuck with it. I actually started fasting about 10pm just in case. I made sure to not have anything cause I was not going to risk failing and have to take the 3 hour test.

Answer

I’ve had to do the glucose test twice during my pregnancy— once at 14 weeks and at 26 weeks. Both times I prepped differently for the 1 hr test and both times I failed— the first one I ate 2 eggs 2 hours before my test and failed with a 143 and last time I fasted (only water) and failed with a 154. But I passed the 3 hr GTT both times with flying colors. From what I’ve read, it’s common to not pass the 1 hour test and actually the 3 hour test can give a more accurate depiction of how your body tolerates glucose. Good luck!

Answer

I failed my first test. That being said, I fasted that morning but had pasta the night before. Taking the second one next week and modifying the amount of sugars and carbs I eat in the meantime. But it already sucks. I love sugars and carbs. I am miserable 😩

Answer

Well the snow weather in the southeast canceled my appointment. Boo! Anticipation for another day! Good luck to everyone else today 🤗

Answer

I have mine at 10:45 today! I’m going to have something small just because if not I’ll be gagging all over the place lol

Answer

I had cake the entire week before the test. I’ve eaten more sweets pregnant than before. The night before I didn’t go crazy and the day of I ate eggs and 3 slices of bacon and passed.

Answer

I had mine done yesterday, was supposed to get results today but never heard back. I didn’t eat much except 2 bananas about 3-4 hours before my glucose testing. But to be warn you, glucose drink is nasty as heck! Ooh it made me so sick after drinking that stuff after 5 minutes. I had to keep it down or otherwise I would’ve to have do it again if I threw up. I went outside to walk a bit to get fresh air, that helped some and went back inside and impatiently waiting for time to go by so I played a game on my phone.
