For Girls Who Had Their Gestational Diabeties Test Already...

I am scheduled for my 1 hour in three weeks and my appointment is at 2pm. I asked the nurse if i needed to do anything before that and she said no i can eat/drink anything i want just lay off the sugar. Was this your doctors request? I heard so many different things on these boards.

Also did you pass?

TIA!

i was told that i could eat up until i had to drink the liquid, and then i had to fast for the hour. they advided me to not eat alot of high carb, sugary foods. i failed both my 1 hour and 3 hr. i have been on a very strict diet since april, but i have not needed insulin. good luck.

I passed each and every one but to be honest, it's really a toss up...I made sure to take my gd test first thing in the morning and I never ate or drank anything until after my blood was drawn...not even coffee. You could try that but again, it's a toss up. sometimes there's really nothing you can do about it.

Good luck!

I also had my test done first thing in the morning which they recommened. My doc told me not to eat anything sugary. I have a piece of dry toast and water. I passed the test.

I do believe there are 2 different GD tests, One is a fasting test and the other isn't. It depends what your dr sends you for.

For me, mine was a fasting test. I couldn't eat/drink/chew anything from midnight before. I went 1st thing in the am to take the test so I wouldn't puke!

For my 1hr test although I didn't have to fast but I did with my drs recommendation. I scheduled for the morning so I wouldn't be starving. I passed too!

Re: For Girls Who Had Their Gestational Diabeties Test Already...

I have mine next week, they told me not to eat anything before, so I made it for the morning.

Re: For Girls Who Had Their Gestational Diabeties Test Already...

I was told to not eat anything after i started drinking the drink......but up until then just try to eat normal and avoid any extra suagry things!
