I had a bagel and cream cheese around 8, and then my appointment was at 11:40. I passed with flying colors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-your-glucose-test#post-306836 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 12:24:11 +0000 mamabolt 306836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate lunch before my one hour and then took it at like 4 pm, I don't even remember what I ate though. I failed by one point. I fasted overnight before the three hour and passed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-your-glucose-test#post-306835 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 12:19:02 +0000 78h2o 306835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so confused by this!</p> <p>I was told it was fine to eat before the 1 hr, just to avoid carbs (fruit, bread) and dairy (milk, cheese). My test is first thing tomorrow morning... still not sure whether or not I should eat!</p> <p>@JerricaBenton: I agree... I don't want to fail, but at the same time, I want accurate results. If I have GD, I want to know about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-your-glucose-test#post-304932 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:28:11 +0000 kml636 304932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate eggs. No coffee or carbs and I had no problem!

Next time I'm pregnant I'm not eating anything for my 1 hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-your-glucose-test#post-304112 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:54:09 +0000 mrsjyw 304112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope... was scheduled for a 930, i think i drank water or coffee in the am; that was it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-your-glucose-test#post-303991 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:10:46 +0000 JerricaBenton 303991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm confused by this. Is there are way to 'cheat' the test? What if you do have GD? Will it not show up if you don't eat certain foods the day before the test? I don't want it either, believe me, but I would want to know if I had it, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-your-glucose-test#post-303985 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:08:03 +0000 MamaBehr 303985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I passed my one hour by NOT eating, but my c-r-a-z-y OBGYN insisted I take the three hour one (because of my resting glucose, but I think she hated that I made big babies). For the three hour one you can't eat anything after midnight the night before. I recommend you don't eat anything, or if you do low carb, (think cheese, eggs, protein) sugars and bread will spike blood sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-anything-before-your-glucose-test#post-303963 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:02:36 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 303963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm...seems like eating is the way to go.
