Glucose Test? To Eat or Not to Eat?

Question

I am 26 weeks today. I take my glucose screening test Thursday. My appointment is at 10:30, so I need to drink the drink at around 9:30am. My doctor said I do not have to eat if I am not hungry, but if I eat a high protein breakfast it will not effect the test. If I ate plain scrambled eggs with nothing added to them, would that be bad? Is it better to not eat, since I am testing early in the morning? My mom tested twice with girls and failed only the first test (she never ate prior), and tested once with my brother and passed the first time (she ate eggs) so I’m just wondering what is the best to do 🤔

Answer

I was told that test was fasting- no food or water.

Answer

If it's the one hour test then you can eat. I had two poptarts two hours before i took the test and passed lol. You don't have to fast for the one hour only for the 3 hour. Gl

Answer

My doc said for the first test, eat/drink normally. If you fail that one, there is a three hr fasting glucose test.

Answer

Just for what your normally do no point in cheating the test. If you have insulin resistance the only one it’s hurting is you and your baby 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

With my last two I had scrambled eggs and black coffee for breakfast, I also packed a cereal bar in my purse for after the test was over because I knew I would still be hungry, I passed both times and never had to re take the tests. As long as you dont eat a ton of carbs and sugar you'll do just fine, assuming you dont actually have GD. No sense in going hungry!

Answer

Why I was diagnosed  gestational diabetic, I was fasting
The next pregnancy I had a protein heavy breakfast first, I passed 
When I did have gestational diabetes, I ate lots of protein and it always helped me lower my blood sugar when

Answer

If your doctor said you could eat than eat. Stay away from sugary and carb foods.

Answer

I had scrambled eggs before mine and passed. But i think you'll fail either way if you have an issue with insulin. There's no way to cheat the test, the only thing that may alter results would be if you ate a lot of sugar before the test.

Answer

I had eggs before my test because I was told not high carb breakfast was fine so some scrambled eggs should be fine. But you don’t have to eat I think, of your not hungry.
