How to prepare for 1 hr glucose test?

Question

I wasn’t really given any instructions besides not eating 2 hours before the test. I just don’t want to do anything that would influence my results one way or another. I want them to be as accurate as possible. Should I make sure I’m very very hydrated? Should I eat a low carb dinner the night before? 
My test is 3/25 at 7 am.

Answer

I’d definitely eat I took my 2nd glucose test and this time I didn’t eat cause my appointment was super early so I didn’t have time to eat and I barely passed my one hour test by 1 point all because I had an empty stomach 🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

Eat as normal is what my OB said as well. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, but if you wanted specific things to eat, my OB said bacon and hard boiled eggs are real helpers!

Answer

Eat normal. You don’t want to alter the results just for a positive ❤️

Answer

I personally ate a high protein low carb breakfast about 2 hours before my test per my midwifes recommendation. She said it’s pretty common to fail if you eat a high carb breakfast like toast with jam or something, even if you don’t have GD.

Answer

I was told to eat as normal. You don’t want to eat differently that may screw with the results
