Glucose test tomorrow

[Cricket0619]

What did you eat before your test? I don't want to eat anything that might mess with the results.

My doc told me to eat normally before the one hour so I had a donut for breakfast and a coffee. I then failed it and had to take the 3 hour test and fast before it. I passed that. Don't do what I did having to drink that drink twice in a week sucked hard.

I tried to eat more protein rather than carbs. I had the lemon lime glucola (twice due to my disease) and it tasted like really sugary sprite.

[Jalapeñomel]

I ate what every I normally ate.

I wasn't told to fast, but I did anyway.

The glucosamine sucks. SUCKS! I can't even properly stress how much it sucks. It was gross and gave me a ridiculous headache. I hope it doesn't suck for you.  tastes like the "juice" in the plastic bottles with the foil top.

I would probably go for a boiled egg and some string cheese. Avoid extra carbs right before the test. My three hour was fasting, my one hour wasn't.

And I got the orange and it tasted like flat orange soda with extra sugar. I love orange soda, but this was pushing it. A straw helped, thankfully I have a bunch of wrapped ones on my car.

I had to fast

[julez]

I have my test tomorrow as well. I wasn't told to fast this time or last time with DD. I was planning to eat a high-protein breakfast tomorrow - probably eggs - and skip the carbs until afterwards.

ETA: good luck!

I have no advice bc I'm already diabetic, so I don't have to take it (one of the few perks) but I just wanted to say good luck!! I hope you pass with flying colors

Don't do what I did before the 1 hour and have an insomnia snack of ice cream at 4 am. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[snickers]

Boiled eggs

Fast, so you don't have to do the 3 hour like me. I am kicking myself.

Good luck to you too!

Thanks everyone. I am going to fast just to be safe. It's at 9:45, but I am starving already. I'll just get some good food after!

[demelza]

My doc said I don't have to fast but no carbs or sugary things for sure before the test. Protein stuff like cheese or beef jerky is a OK.

I ate normally. I think I had a slice of wheat toast and a scrambled egg.

The drink wasn't bad - like flat orange soda - and I passed the one hour with no problems.

I ate fairly normally (non-sugary cereal) and failed but the test was 3 hours after my breakfast. I failed the 3 hour also so I got the GD. If you don't test until later in the day, I would eat mostly proteins with light carbs and sugars. Bring a straw and definitely hope that it is cold. Ask for the orange, any other flavor made me feel worse!

namasteak that sucks so bad they messed up again. Hopefully your tracking will help decide what your situation will be. My sister had GD with her first and so right from the start of her second pregnancy tracked and it helped her gain less than 10 pounds!

The orange drink wasn't too bad. Thanks for the straw suggestions, I think that helped. I was really hungry, so I think the drink helped with that part and made it go down easily. I should get my results tomorrow.
