Tips for glucose test?

Question

I have to have my 1 hour glucose test on Friday morning at 10:30 am, I’m looking for some tips on if I should fast the night before and morning of or if I should eat lightly? And what should I drink for the 12 hours leading up to it? Idk I’m a ftm and don’t want to fail. I’m also on the very small petite side so I’m not sure if that will affect my results. I’m so nervous..😭

Answer

Honestly eat regularly and follow what they tell you, it's so important to have an accurate glucose reading.  If you do have GD you need to modify your diet for your and baby's safety.....if you fudge the test you won't know the real results

Answer

I honestly would eat normal because if you do have it you want to know for sure. I ate like i normally do I drink coffee with a bunch of pumpkin spice creamer and several spoons full of icing. lol Not like i do it every day but those are some of the highest sugar I had and i still passed. There is nothing you can do to make that test be a pass if you have it.  Its nothing you do wrong either.

Answer

they will give you directions on what to eat the morning before. honestly I can say i would do whatever you normally do the day before. I personally would follow directions and hope for the best. if you have gestational diabetes then you have them, it's not much you can do about it. Just hope for the best! :)

I did mine two days ago without fasting. I had protein (bacon and eggs) for breakfast with some hash browns. I also made sure I was hydrated before since my blood draws are easier when I'm well hydrated. I passed, but I did feel sick halfway through. I thought I was going to puke, got up for water, and almost passed out while searching for a drinking fountain. It scared me, but apparently it's common for some women. Good luck to you!

I'm a FTM also. And I just had my glucose test 3 days ago and got the results today that all is good. My appt was at 11am. I got up at 7:30 and ate 3 eggs and a yogurt and an entire water bottle before 8am. Which was 2 hours before I had to drink the glucola drink.  At 10am I drink the drink within 5minutes. I got to the doctors at 10:55 and they took my blood right away.  No water or anything after 10, after I finished the glucola drink. My result came back as 101 and I heard that up to 140 was okay.

Answer

You don't need to fast. I had honey nut cherrios before I got my glucose test done. I do recommend drinking lots of water because they don't let you drink anything during that hour.
I would also recommend not doing anything that day after the test. I got extremely tired and the baby was so active

Answer

I just had mine on tuesday afternoon! I ate pretty normal, except the night before, I skipped out on dessert. And then tuesday for breakfast I had two eggs and two slices of bacon. I did that because it had no carbs and wasn't surgary, but I did drink a half sweet half unsweet tea. Then for lunch I had a ham sandwich, but instead of bread, I wrapped it in lettuce and then I had some green beans. I consumed about 50 ounces of water before I had my test throughout the morning and afternoon. My doctor said I passed with flying colors!

Answer

My doctor told me to fast & to not eat after dinner time the night before the 1 hour. I had my appt at 8:45am when they opened because my doctor didn’t want me fasting all day. But I’ve already read you don’t need to fast... so maybe it depends on your doctor.

Answer

My doctor yelled at me when I told her I haven't eaten the morning of ! So eat but no sugary stuff no sweets before bed and try and do like eggs and bacon in the morning and drink just water. No sugar !

Answer

I just had my glucose test yesterday, but mine was a 2 hour test and it involved fasting for 12 hours. So I'm not sure on if it would be the same thing. I drunk water until they took my fasting blood, then wasn't able to drink anymore until after the 2 hours was up.
