If you passed your 1 hour glucose test, did you fast all day/morning before the test?

Question

I'm curious if I am more likely to pass if I eat breakfast (eggs and bacon or something like that) or to fast. I've heard either way, and I thought a poll would give me the best idea. My test is at 9:15am this upcoming Thursday. I'm so nervous!!

Answer

Honestly they didn't tell me I wasn't supposed to eat until after she asked me if I had and an hour before the test I had ate two apple pies 3 pancakes a hot chocolate and to top it off a Caramel Frappè. I was really craving sweets that day which hardly ever happens. When you get your results back your supposed to be under 130 I scored an 85. Now I don't know if it was god or my body just processes sugar rediculously fast but i dont know if eating right before the test will effect it. And by the way I ate another apple pie while I waited 🙈🙊. My ob just looked at me and told me that I'm so lucky.

Answer

I was specifically told not to fast. Eat as normal!!!

Answer

You are NOT supposed to fast!!!!

Answer

My doctor told me to eat a high protein breakfast. I am getting tested early because I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy.

Answer

My doctor told me to eat normal. She told me not to fast or worry about it. So I go next week and I'll eat like I normally do.

Answer

If you eat, it will thro your test off and give you false readings. You could "pass" and really have GD, and it going untreated could be bad. Or you could "fail" and have to retake it. I would fast all night, take the test and eat after!

Answer

I pressed the wrong one but I meant to put yes I fasted all morning.. My dr didn't give me an option he told me I had to fast..

Answer

What does your doc say? Mine had me fast overnight for the 1 and three hour

Answer

I was told to fast with all 4 of my kids and passed them all. Each doctor is different though so call yours tomorrow and ask if you need to do so.

Answer

Eat your regular meal in a regular time. I didnt pass mine its was only slightly elevated because my schedule was at 2:30 and i havent eaten anything from the night before up until 2:00pm then i ate about 15 minutes before i drink that glucose drink. Surely eating right after i was starving and 15 minutes before i drank that glucose spiked my blood sugar a little bit. But still have to take 3 hour to make sure but i passed the 3 hour following instructions.😉

If you passed your 1 hour glucose test, did you fast all day/morning before the test?
