I think the range is 25-28 weeks. My midwife told me NO carbs at all before the test. I had eggs &amp; some mixed nuts before mine. What you've listed seems high in sugar/carbs for what my midwife told me (she specifically said no cereal for breakfast!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312699 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 13:02:45 +0000 Kemma 2312699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to revise my response, I was getting my carbs and sugars confused, 15g of CARBS would be considered on the low side for breakfast but not 15g of sugar.</p> <p>@MaisyMay: that's pretty similar to the recs for GD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312603 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 11:19:18 +0000 brady80 2312603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My test was first thing in the morning and I had a handful of almonds and lots of water! I passed. Not sure what I would have done if I had to wait until the afternoon. Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312561 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 10:57:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2312561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it's more the carbs that throw it all off.

Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312487 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 09:59:10 +0000 jlm22 2312487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my 1 hour test I was told to eat normally just watch the sugar intake. The 3 hour test you have to fast. (Awful. So awful. I hope you pass the 1 hour!) That being said.... I would skip the cheerios! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312400 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 08:41:15 +0000 avivoca 2312400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That seems like a lot of carbs.

That's what I had about an hour before my one-hour glucose test. It's supposed to be a good food for not spiking your blood sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312264 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 04:55:05 +0000 ElbieKay 2312264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip the carbs personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312263 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 04:54:27 +0000 MaisyMay 2312263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a diabetic, the cereal and milk is carb heavy enough to elevate your glucose. Try adding in a protien in the morning to balance it out. For the lunch, multi grain is good, whole grain would be better. Pb is a good choice if no extra sugar is added. As a pregnant diabetic, I am supposed to have 15-30 grams of carbs and 8-16 grams of protien foe breakfast. Lunch can be 30-45g carbs, 16-24 protien. 1 serving of carbs is 15g. A serving of protien is 8g. </p> <p>Your breakfast is going to give you a lot of carbs from both the cereal and the milk, but no/little protien for after the quick high is over with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312261 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 04:52:39 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2312261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Considering the recommended amount of sugar a day is 25g/ about 6 teaspoons, I would say that this is quite high sugar. You have 20g of your 25g by 10:30am!!! </p> <p>Dairy would be the first thing to cut. I would have eggs for breakfast and maybe for lunch something whole meal rather than just multigrain. It's really hard to think of healthy foods, when you've eliminated 90% off the best foods to eat :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312260 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 04:26:45 +0000 gracecat 2312260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm I would think its a good effort but I thought very carby foods were also big sugar uppers and a bit risky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312248 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 03:08:02 +0000 Kemma 2312248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on the dietary guidelines for GD that would be considered low sugar (from what I remember!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312241 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 01:01:37 +0000 misolee 2312241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip the peanut butter. </p> <p>I had a very early GD test so I skipped breakfast and still failed my first one. I passed the three hour one-all normal ranges. The only thing I can think of that caused me to fail the first is the watermelon I had like the night before (15 hours before test) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312239 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 00:37:34 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2312239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you not eat fruits and veggies? Is it a digestive thing?</p> <p>Anyway, your menu looks a bit too carb heavy... I think eggs are a good suggestion, and how about cheese? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312212 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 22:43:55 +0000 Corduroy 2312212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really think it's low sugar but it's similar to the eggs &amp; toast recommendedation I was given. I think you'll be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-test-question-just-found-out-im-doing-it-tmrw#post-2312206 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 22:32:09 +0000 DesertDreams88 2312206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I found out today that I have to have my gestational diabetes test before I leave for my trip on Saturday, and the only time I can do it then is tomorrow sometime 12:30ish-1ish. I'll be 25 weeks and 1 day, which I think is a little early for this?!</p> <p>They told me to not fast, eat low sugar, and high protein. I don't eat fruits, veggies, or meat (and my ob knows this) and this is what I'm thinking of eating. Does this qualify as "low sugar" ?</p> <p>Breakfast at 6:30: A big bowl of Cheerios &amp; 2% milk (15g of sugar (mostly from the milk), 8g of protein)<br /> "Lunch" at 10:30: A multigrain waffle with natural peanut butter (5g of sugar, 4g of protein).<br /> Test around 12:30-1:30ish.</p> <p>I'm not really looking for suggestions... I'm just seeing if the above meal would be considered "low sugar" by normal people ;) </p>
