My mom and sister were visiting the weekend before and they fed me very healthily because they knew I was stressed about failing the one hour test, but after they left I went on a carb binge the night before the test, even got a big piece of cake because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to eat sweets after the three hour test. I still passed luckily :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-carbo-load-before-your-3-hour-glucose-test#post-151604 Tue, 08 May 2012 11:32:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 151604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I personally would love to hear from our beediatrician more often about health posts ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-carbo-load-before-your-3-hour-glucose-test#post-151588 Tue, 08 May 2012 11:27:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 151588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: I try not to post on health posts if at all possible unless I'm posting from a mom perspective. (FPIEs/MSPI). Sometimes even a mamadoc just wants to chat! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-carbo-load-before-your-3-hour-glucose-test#post-151582 Tue, 08 May 2012 11:23:58 +0000 Shutterbug 151582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha poor @Mrs. Jacks: you have to add a disclaimer to all of your posts :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-carbo-load-before-your-3-hour-glucose-test#post-151579 Tue, 08 May 2012 11:22:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 151579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I followed a healthy whole grain diet. I wanted to pass that sucker! (said as a mama, not a doc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-carbo-load-before-your-3-hour-glucose-test#post-151576 Tue, 08 May 2012 11:19:57 +0000 aunt pol 151576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's strange, that's not part of the test process here at all. You're told to eat as you normally do until the evening before when a light supper is recommended, then a complete fast from midnight to 8 am when the first blood is taken. Then you have the glucose drink and an hour later second blood is taken, and another hour later the final blood is taken and you're free to go. </p> <p>Best of luck with it though, hope you pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-carbo-load-before-your-3-hour-glucose-test#post-151432 Tue, 08 May 2012 09:55:50 +0000 chopsuey 151432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carb loaded every day too.. :P Hope you passsss!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-carbo-load-before-your-3-hour-glucose-test#post-151390 Tue, 08 May 2012 09:34:12 +0000 heffalump 151390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carbo load every day :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-carbo-load-before-your-3-hour-glucose-test#post-151387 Tue, 08 May 2012 09:32:52 +0000 mrs. wagon 151387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oops... another GD question...</p> <p>I took my 3 hour glucose test yesterday (I'll blog about it once I get my results!) but I just realized I forgot to follow the meal plan for 3 days before the test. I received instructions to carbo-load at each meal for 3 days before starting the fasting period. On the contrary, I ate very healthy and stayed away from large servings of carbs.</p> <p>Uh oh. </p>
