I have to go next week, and my doctor said to try to fast a little and go first thing in the morning if i could.

I was told not to have any carbs/sugars the morning of - but that was it.

So of course the night before I had a rich dessert and I failed the 1 hour - but just barely.

Re: what did you eat the day before your glucose test?

I barely failed the 1 hour... didn't change my diet and "accidentially" ate a chocolate chocolate chip muffin about an hour and a half before I drank the glucose stuff.

For the 3 hour, I was told not to eat or drink anything after midnight the night before... still waiting for the results.

Good luck!

I ate normally the day before. I had the fasting glucose both times though. I passed them both.

But if I were you, i would try to eat thigns that keep your sugar stable, like whole grains, cheeses, proteins, greens/veggies. Stay away from refined/convenience foods and the obvious sweet stuff.

I don't remember what I ate the day before, but all I had was water the morning of. They said that was good.

I ate a pint of Ben and Jerrys the evening before. I passed.

Re: what did you eat the day before your glucose test?

I ate normally the day before my 1 hour, fasted from midnight on and failed by 7 points.

I ate normally the day before my 3 hour but purposely had a lower carb dinner and skipped dessert. I fasted from midnight - even waited until after the test to take my prenatal vitamins and passed it.
