I'm not taking my test until 3:30. Any suggestions on what I should/shouldn't eat that day?

I fasted before the 1 hour but had GD. I'd have a good balance of protein and carbs.

I ate what I normally would eat just keeping in mind to limit sugars... no candy bar the day of the test. I passed both times and had my test in the afternnon

Re: What can I eat day of 1 hour glucose test?

I ate normally before each glucose test. No fasting. I took it 3 times and passed all 3 times.

If you have GD, you won't pass no matter what you eat. And if you don't have GD, your body should be able to handle the sugar properly. Just don't eat a pound of candy going into the test.

Avoid sugary stuff. I passed the 1 hour with my 1st three but failed with my 4th - The night before I had cornflakes with sugar and some chocolate during the day.
I passed the 3 hour no problem though

I took mine in the morning but the day before I just tried to avoid a TON of excess sugar.

Yes you should eat normally, but don't down a bag of sour patch kids or anything that will throw your numbers way way off artifically

I did try to avoid eating a ton of carbs and sugar the day before- i didn't want to artificially inflate my numbers


And yes, if you have GD you won't pass regardless of what you eat or don't eat- but if you DON"T have it, and you eat a ton of carbs and sugar the day before or of, it may artifically inflate your numbers and cause you to have to go for the 3 hour and who wants to have to do that if you don't have to , kwim?

I took mine in the morning and only had scrambled eggs and water beforehand. I also limited sugar intake the day before just in case. Had my test been later in the day, I would just try to keep with proteins and stay away from the sweets (including juice, soda, etc) until after. My OB did say to eat normal that day, but I'd still be careful because I wouldn't want to risk a false positive and have to go back for the dreadful 3 hr if it wasn't necessary.

Mine wasn't a fasting test. You can eat normal.

You should eat the way you normally do. Don't limit sweets or carbs if that's what you normally eat. You will not have high blood sugar just from eating sweets if you do not have diabetes.
