Glucose test - can I eat beforehand?

Question

I have my glucose test tomorrow morning (at 9am)
I’m just wondering can I eat beforehand? I’m 27 weeks now and if I don’t eat breakfast I actually get physically sick
I’ve read that you can eat as long as it’s not sugary and just protein. So I was thinking maybe just a bagel or some scrambled eggs?

Answer

We always told people to try not to eat but if they have to then have eggs or vegetables when I worked at an OB office but try to at least fast for 1 hour before your appointment. It can really throw off your results and that 3 hour glucose is no joke 🤢 
Also, bread turns into sugar so a bagel wouldn’t be a good choice.

Answer

Ask your doctor!

Answer

I was told to eat a normal breakfast. Call your clinic to verify their procedure.

Answer

Ask your doctor what they want you to do. They should have given you directions beforehand. Usually they say no food one after before your test and nothing for an hour afterwards. If they tell you to eat stick to proteins like eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. No toast, fruit, bagels, pancakes, etc. If it has carbs or sugar- don’t eat it. No sugar or flavored/sweetened creamer in you coffee either. 
I actually carb loaded the day before my test but ate nothing after 8pm. I passed with a 117.

Answer

You don’t need to fast before the 1hr test but the 3hr test yes you do need to fast .

Answer

If it’s for the 1hr you eat, if it’s the 3hr you can’t eat or drink..... I’ll be doing my 3hr Friday morning 🤦🏻‍♀️😬

Answer

My midwives say only protein. Best thing is a couple eggs and water.

Answer

Yes but no carbs or sugar. When I had mine I HAD to eat so I had bacon and water.

Answer

3 hour or 1 hour?

Answer

I was told to fast.
I couldn’t even make it to the appointment.
My stomach hurt so bad from not eating, I knew it wasn’t going to go well for me 🤦🏻‍♀️
