Quick 1 hour Glucose Question..

I'm scheduled for tomorrow morning.. I know it's better not to "trick" the test and eat differently than you normally do (if there's a problem, I'd want to know), but should I not have anything reeeally sugary tonight?

Going out to dinner tonight & probably would get a dessert or ice cream after.. better not to?

ETA: I guess what I'm asking is would a sugary dessert still be in my system 12 hours later?

Re: Quick 1 hour Glucose Question..

something reallllly sugary the night before WILL effect your numbers. I've taken the test 3x - I never fasted, but I DID have half of a pineapple the night before my 3rd time going and my # was higher.

DS1 @ 26 weeks: passed with a 99
DS2 @ 12 weeks: passed with a 100 (i was screened early due to my PCOS)
DS2 @ 28 weeks: passed with a 124 (12 hrs after eating 1/2 a pineapple!)

eta: keep in mind that a very carby meal will effect your sugar levels - likely more than a scoop of ice cream!
