You want to fail if you have GD anyways so you can be healthy and adjust accordingly :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-343833 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 20:29:07 +0000 BlueWolverine 343833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it matters. If you have gestational diabetes, not eating sweet for a few days isn't going to change that. And if you do have it, the possibility of fooling a test won't really help you or your baby. I vote for normal diet. I had to do the one hour and three hour test. Failed the one hour miserably. Passed the three hour with flying colors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-343763 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:45:52 +0000 chopsuey 343763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i didn't change anything. didn't eat before both of my tests and I failed both 1 hours!<br /> passed my 3 hour with LO. haven't taken my 3 hour for this pregnancy yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-343760 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:42:24 +0000 boiledpnut 343760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't change anything except not drink juice or eat fruit the morning of (per my doctor). It's been about 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything, but my doctor's philosophy is no news is good news. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-343054 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:42:41 +0000 wheres_c 343054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept my diet the same for my 1 hour test. I had half a donut at 8am and a sandwich at 12pm. My test was at 2pm. I failed. I chalk it up to what I ate.</p> <p>I went for the 3 hour test (fasting - but still no change in diet) and I passed. </p> <p>I think the food you eat definately will effect your test results but I would think you would want the results to be a true picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-343039 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:38:58 +0000 hilsy85 343039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I didn't change anything....I failed the 1 hour but passed the 3 hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-343036 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:37:57 +0000 littlebug 343036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't change my diet, because I was actually worried I wouldn't pass because I had been having reactions to sugar. So I kept eating like normal so that the results would be accurate. </p> <p>My doctor did tell me to eat an egg the morning of my test, since I told her I'd been reacting to sugar - she didn't want the sugar drink to totally overload me in case I was having glucose issues. So I had one hard-boiled egg around 7am, had my first blood draw at 8:50, and the 2nd at 9:50. Just found out today that I passed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-343012 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:32:31 +0000 mrsjyw 343012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I didn't change my diet before the exam... I passed the 1 hour </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-342962 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:20:32 +0000 erwoo 342962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it will make a huge difference if at all. Plus, you want to eat normally so the test will be accurate to your current diet. I passed the 1 hour with my first and failed the 1 hour with my second but passed the 3 hours with flying colors. And I ate bland oatmeal the morning of both of my appointments. Didn't make a difference! Good luck on yours!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-342864 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:43:27 +0000 MamaMoose 342864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not the healthiest eater in the world since being pregnant. I changed nothing (even had a bagel for breakfast the day of my test) and I passed with flying colors. Like @highwire: I wanted the test to really be reflective of my regular eating habits rather than tricking the test into a negative result if I did actually have GD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-342860 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:40:54 +0000 pl0508 342860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! I don't normally overload on sweets but I have been a carb monster during pregnancy - haha! I'm planning on having eggs beforehand since they told me I could eat 2 hrs before and just seeing how things turn out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-342841 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:34:16 +0000 cheert16 342841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt change anything- njust ate normal. They told me to have breakfast before going in ( i went in late morning) and not to drink a large of glass of juice or have anything too high i sugar for breakfast- so i had a scrambled eggs. And mine came out great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-342822 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:28:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 342822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat pretty healthy in general, so didn't change anything... but I was told not to eat after midnight and my screening was in the morning, so I didn't eat until after the test was over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-342819 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:27:53 +0000 DillonLion 342819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't change anything because I wanted the test to measure my regular diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-screening-1#post-342814 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:26:31 +0000 pl0508 342814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my glucose screening in a little over a week. Did you try to cut back on sweets before your test? I usually have a few cookies and milk before bed and maybe a little sweet after lunch - was thinking of cutting that out until after my screening. Or would it even make a difference???</p> <p>What did you do? </p>
