I ate a healthy lunch just to cover my bases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gestational-diabetes-test-in-the-afternoon#post-1919672 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:59:50 +0000 LAZB 1919672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had friends blame their failing the 1 hour on the time of day, but I don't have experience with that. I think it just depends on what your doctor qualifies as failing. I know my doctor has me fast, so I do it first thing in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gestational-diabetes-test-in-the-afternoon#post-1919617 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:32:11 +0000 rattles 1919617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one in the morning and one in the afternoon with no difference in directions or results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gestational-diabetes-test-in-the-afternoon#post-1919614 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:30:35 +0000 mfa_lady 1919614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 1-hour screen doesn't require fasting. I had mine at 2:30PM and had eaten sausage quiche for breakfast and lunch. I failed, but barely, and the 3-hour test levels came back totally fine. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gestational-diabetes-test-in-the-afternoon#post-1919605 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:26:17 +0000 MapleMoose 1919605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 1-hour glucose screen was in the afternoon, no fasting beforehand. I failed the fingerstick. My 3-hour glucose tolerance test was in the morning after fasting and I passed fine. Actually I was hypoglycemic (low blood sugar levels). Who knows! </p> <p>Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gestational-diabetes-test-in-the-afternoon#post-1919440 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 13:05:45 +0000 catomd00 1919440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Makes no difference in my experience. I had mine first thing in the morning (had been fasting by default since it was so early and hadn't had breakfast yet) and I failed. I passed the 3 hour with flying colors and didn't make any adjustments to my diet leading up to it (except for following the GD test instructions). Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gestational-diabetes-test-in-the-afternoon#post-1919245 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 11:56:56 +0000 snowjewelz 1919245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I know, it's not supposed to make a difference b/c they're measuring how well your body is digesting the glucose drink.</p> <p>However, I feel like you can always make sure you eat a protein rich, low carb/sugar lunch and drink lots of water just in case so you don't have to wonder if what you ate had effect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gestational-diabetes-test-in-the-afternoon#post-1919224 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 11:49:45 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1919224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mine at three with this pregnancy. I just ate normally. No fasting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gestational-diabetes-test-in-the-afternoon#post-1919207 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 11:45:46 +0000 LaughLines 1919207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my 24 week appt in a few weeks at 4:45pm. I called the office yesterday to confirm i would be getting my gestational diabetes test, and they said i was. I asked about fasting and they said i didn't need to.</p> <p>Has anyone had their GD test so late in the day? Does it even make a difference? </p>
