Re: should i not eat anything...
i wouldn't eat after midnight before you take it. my doc said it didn't matter, but i was reading on baby center that the majority of people who ate right before failed -- and the instructions from doctors were really inconsistent. some people were told to fast, others weren't. so i did not eat after midnight the night before and passed with flying colors.

Re: should i not eat anything...
My doc said just not to eat anything sugary for breakfast, so all I had before I went was a bowl of Total and water.

Re: should i not eat anything...
It's weird how the directions differ on this test.
Mine, i was told nothing after midnight, not even water in the am. I had a 100% fasting test, and i passed easily.

Re: should i not eat anything...
they say not to fast for the 1 hr but I swear you should because I failed by 1 point!!!! I ate a bowl of cereal that morning.
The 3 hr one they say nothing after midnight. I was so hungry by the time it was over!

Re: should i not eat anything...
my doctor said to eat as normal for the 1 hour (I had to my appt wasn't until 1pm!!)
I had cereal with a banana. I don't think it matters - if your body isn't processing sugars right they'll know even if you fast. SO eat up!

Re: should i not eat anything...
my Dr told me NOT to fast. Its a 1 hr test and fasting would ruin the results.
p.s Anything you eat TODAY wont affect the results tommorow. Blood Glucose is processed quickly in the body.

I would call your dr's office and ask as they told me not to eat at least 2 hours before and I have an 8am appt.

Re: should i not eat anything...
When I didnt fast I failed.
When I fasted for 12 hours before ( i mean not even a sip of water) I passed.
This was just my experience.

Re: should i not eat anything...
I didn't eat anything sweet the day of. I don't know if it made a difference or not but when I made the appt. for the test they said "Dont go eating donuts and a bag of cookies".
I had maybe 1 sweet the day before.

Re: should i not eat anything...
I fasted an hour before, but the nurse had told me to skip the pancake breakfast that morning.

Re: should i not eat anything...
If you fast when your not suppossed to and you pass, you cant use that as a good judgement. I would do exaclty what the Dr says to get the most accurate results.

Re: should i not eat anything...
I didnt worry about eating. Only that morning... I went on an empty stomach, then I ate after. The day before doesn't matter.
