To fast or not to fast…

Jessica

Those that have taken the glucose screening test… did you fast or not? I’ve been told you don’t *have* to fast. My nurse said don’t eat anything, my doctor mentioned eating something small with protein like eggs. I’m probably going to have eggs as I think my sugar would be more steady and not jump so much if there is some protein in my system but I’m curious what other have heard/done and what your results were.

Update- ate 2 eggs at 8:15, drank the glucose drink at 9:50 and passed with a 103 😊 at least I think I passed, no reference range on the lab portal but from what I can tell that’s good. Also, I felt fine and the drink itself wasn’t bad at all.
