Do you have to fast for the glucose test?
I am making an appt online and my dr didn't mention if I had to fast or not and that's one of the questions they are asking

Re: Do you have to fast for the glucose test?
call the doctor and ask. I've learned on this site that EVERY doctor has a different protocol.
My doc told me specifically NOT to fast - but i bet you'll get 10 other replies saying that they were told to....and more saying they didn't...

My doctor said not to, but I knew too many people who didn't fast and failed even though they did not have GD. I fasted and passed.

Re: Do you have to fast for the glucose test?
I just did mine on Sat. morning as well, and the lab told me to fast for 12 hours prior to the test to get a true reading.

Re: Do you have to fast for the glucose test?
I was told to not eat anything after midnight for a morning test. Both my doctor and the lab tech told me this.

Re: Do you have to fast for the glucose test?
Mine said that I didn't have to for the one hour but that its more accurate if you do, so I opted to fast and I PASSED!

Re: Do you have to fast for the glucose test?
YOu should essentially follow what your Dr/lab reccomends but fasting is NOT going to help your results. If you DO NOT have GD your body will produce enough insulin to breakdown all the suager you eat....
If you DO have GD your body won't produce enough....

Re: Do you have to fast for the glucose test?
I did it this morning. The doctor told me not to fast. My sister had GD three times and always had to fast. She was surprised I didn't have to. So, to be on the safe side, I stopped eating at 9pm the night before. This morning all I had was a very small bowl of multi grain Cheerios, and water.

My Dr. told me to fast for the 1 hour test.
I did also. It did get me sick because the drink was really sweet
