I think that means I passed. The range for the test previously was anything under 130. </p> <p>They may still have me repeat in a few weeks but clear for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1519240 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:19:13 +0000 whodat 1519240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was planning on not eating starch for breakfast that day but I forgot and ate a bagel with cream cheese. Then I fasted for 2 hours and took the test at 10:00 a.m. and passed easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1519205 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:08:39 +0000 Caly 1519205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do anything different &amp; easily passed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1519062 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:07:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 1519062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eliminated extra sugar from my diet a few days leading up and stuck to proteins/veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1519021 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 07:48:48 +0000 MamaBehr 1519021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate healthy and low carb before the test and still failed the 1 hour (but passed the 3 hour). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1519001 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 07:35:06 +0000 Beyond2 1519001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate normal in the days before. The morning off I only ate eggs and water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518939 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 06:23:12 +0000 babypugs 1518939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had really good intentions, but then my husband made s'mores...still passed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518929 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 06:02:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1518929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just read the bottle. It says to try to fast for 12 hours prior and avoid exercise and to take the test in the morning when possible. Not exactly the instructions my doctor gave me but basically what I'm doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518921 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 05:24:24 +0000 Smurfette 1518921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate more protein (eggs and turkey sausage) per their instructions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518750 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 22:01:08 +0000 Mamasig 1518750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - I just fasted after around 9. I passed with 1st pregnancy and failed with the second pregnancy. DS was over 10 pounds. In hindsight, I probably had it the first time but maybe developed it later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518746 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 21:52:19 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1518746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My test was the 2 hour. I did everything the same the day before &amp; my appointment was at 830 the next morning so I just didn't eat breakfast &amp; went straight in. Then I piggied out at Denny's after because I was starved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518728 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 21:27:40 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 1518728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fasted as instructed, but my practice has everyone do the two hour to start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518698 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 21:03:34 +0000 anandam 1518698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually they told me that low carb dieting the days before could cause a false positive... so I made sure to have dessert the night before! Who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518682 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 20:52:49 +0000 artsyfartsy 1518682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My test wasn't until 1pm so I ate two pieces of whole wheat toast with butter, scrambled eggs, a banana, and water in the morning around 10am. Nothing overly sugary but thanks to advice from HB I wanted to put a typical breakfast in my belly to get accurate test results. I passed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518679 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 20:50:59 +0000 jhd 1518679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did nothing different the day before. My OB told me to eat a good breakfast, fast for two or three hours &amp; then go for the test. I ate scrambled eggs, turkey bacon &amp; hash browns around 9 and then went for the test around 12. Passed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518676 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 20:50:15 +0000 Rockies11 1518676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate tons of sugar when I was pregnant, and I ate a ton before I did the test, because I figured that it was safest to go with what I usually ate since that was the condition that my blood sugar was usually in! I had like 2 cronuts right before the test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518658 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 20:40:44 +0000 Mae 1518658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't change anything the day before. The morning of (about 3 hrs before the test I think?) I had 2 pieces pb toast (natural pb with no sugar bc that is what i typically eat) and coffee. aka my normal breakfast--- however my normal breakfast has no sugar in it so I mean, that couldn't hurt? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518652 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 20:36:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1518652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: yea I'm not trying to trick the test but want to make sure I also don't skew the results to give a misdiagnosis! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518648 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 20:33:49 +0000 Dandelion 1518648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate everything as usual. But...I was expecting to fail and not trying really hard to pass. I knew it was inevitable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518645 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 20:33:04 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1518645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate well the morning of (my test was at 3pm). Made sure to have lots of protein, not much sugar, etc. I only had to fast for 3 hours or so, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-healthy-fast-before-your-gd-test#post-1518637 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 20:28:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1518637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am going to do my 1 hour test tomorrow morning. I'm only 19 weeks but due to #1 being large they want to test me early. </p> <p>I've tried to eat semi healthy today and having a protein for snack tonight and then I will fast until complete. They said only fasting two hours prior was required. What did you do? </p>
