So confused... Does this mean they most likely won’t be doing the test?

Question

Ofc I am planning on calling but just curious to hear other women’s experiences and opinions. 
I am having an appointment tomorrow at exactly 27 weeks pregnant. At my last appointment, at 22-23 weeks, my doctor mentioned that the diabetes test would “most likely” be administered at my next appointment. Which made sense to me bc Ive heard it is supposed to be done during second trimester. But it was never confirmed and both online &from what I’ve heard from others, I thought you were supposed to fast before you have the test done. I know I should have asked when he mentioned it but I figured the ladies at the desk would mention any instructions to me and I was half-awake bc baby kept me up a lot of the night so I was out of it. 
Does it mean they aren’t doing the test or can you get the test done without fasting? Should I fast just in case?

Answer

Did they find sugar in your urine last appointment? I ask because that happened to me once, and they told me next appt if it happens again they'll do the GD test early (it was because I drank orange juice right before my appt but my next one was fine)
Anyway no you don't need to fast, but my dr recommends avoiding juice or high sugar/carbs the day of.

Answer

I did the 1-hour glucose test at 27 weeks and my dr said I didn’t need to fast. I ate a banana and some cereal before my appointment and I scored 63.

Answer

I was in the same boat because my normal monthly appointment wouldve been at 27 weeks. They gave me the option to do it all at 28 (Tdap, glucose, and normal OB) or to have my ob and then go back at 28 for my glucose. Most doctors dont do it before 28 weeks so my guess is youll get scheduled for it at your next appointment

Answer

It depends on the test that they're going to do. If it's the ogtt, there's no ned to fast, but if your going for the 2 hour ogtt you need to fast for at least 8-12 hours and can only drink water.

Answer

My doctor told be not to fast for the glucose test during either of my pregnancies. Eat a healthy, high protein diet the day of. Avoid sugars and carbs. My appointment isn’t until late afternoon this time, and they told me specifically not to fast. Give the office a call when they open and ask for clarification.

Answer

Not all doctors require you fast before. I know personally I had to go to a quest diagnostics to do the test on my own time after my doctors sent and order for it over. I didn’t do it at an appointment

Answer

I did my the latest which was 28 weeks. You still have some time.
