Updated: I took the Glucose test
How long did you have to fast before the test?
UPDATE: So Dr. H's office told me nothing after midnight (water is OK). I woke upo starving & then the drink was very sugary (duh) but it was kind of thick. I almost choked on it a couple of times, but I don't really eat sugar too much so it tasted almost like syrup to me I did not faint & it was not bad at all. I was totally sweating this test b/c before BFP I would react to sugar like I was on crack, so we'll see what the results are.
I went to Quest in Babylon & they do not let you make an appointment, so I went as soon as they opened at 6:30 They were pretty quick & then you sit & wait for an hour until they draw blood. Totally no biggie.
Thanks for all the helps gals - I'm off to go eat some eggs!

Re: Last GTT question, I swear
I ate dinner at 7 pm the night before- took the test at 7:30 the next day.....
Uh-OH- I just realized, are you taking the 3 hour? I only took the screening.....

Re: Last GTT question, I swear
I was not told to fast before the 1 hour, she told me to have toast in the morning. THEN I didn't get the "optimal number" so I had to take the 3 hour and I fasted after midnight and got to Quest at about 7:30am.
I'd just fast from midnight on and go early. Good luck!!

Re: Last GTT question, I swear
I haven't gone yet (got the note to go within the next 2 weeks) but the doc said that the lab wants you to fast, but he suggests having a piece of plain toast in the morning (no butter, jelly, anything), and some water (no juice, etc.), so that you don't pass out or get sick. Didn't like that doc anyway, so not sure if I should follow his advice. He didn't say anything about when to stop eating the night before though.

Re: Last GTT question, I swear
This is for your one hour, right?
My doctor told me to eat as usual. I would recommend that you call your doctor to find out what they prefer.

Re: Last GTT question, I swear
I just took mine this morning. My doc told me to fast for 12 hours, BUT to eat a plain piece of toast or bread before I go to the lab just so I don't get nauseous. The lab didn't even ask though if I had been fasting.

Same here.
Stop eating two hours before the test.
Drink entire bottle (within 5 minutes) one hour before the test.

Re: Updated: I took the Glucose test
Good to hear it went well, and I'm hoping for good news for you!!
Do they take your blood twice, when you first get there and then 1 hour after drinking the juice? Or just 1 hour after drinking the juice? Thanks!
