That's what my doctor said. DH said that night I was like Gizmo from the Gremlins...."and whatever you do, don't feed him after midnight!"

Re: do you have to fast before you have your glucose test
Every Dr is different...mine told me no food after 10p the night before - just water. While friends didn't have to fast at all.

My doctor said I didn't have to fast for the 1 hour.
Same with my Dr, however, she said to watch any sugar intake before I go. Like don't eat a donut covered in sugar or a bag of sour patch kids.

Re: do you have to fast before you have your glucose test
I didn't have to fast, but I was instructed not to eat anything too high in sugar that day. I ate regularly and didn't eat or drink anything once I drank the glucose drink.

Re: do you have to fast before you have your glucose test
i went this morning and the lady at the lab yelled at me for drinking water and having a bottle of water with me!!
she said you can't have anything before the 1 hour test.
so that's my obgyn AND the lab that told me that--i just went when the lab opened and got to work a little late. i wanted to go after work but they told me at my obgyn that you aren't allowed to.
