I failed miserably and had GD... I think next time I'm gonna eat some protein lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-test-eatingfasting#post-2153614 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 07:57:49 +0000 Alivoo01 2153614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to eat/drink normally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-test-eatingfasting#post-2153579 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 07:44:40 +0000 MrsH 2153579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nurse called back finally and said the test is based on a normal diet and told me I should be fine to get in whenever. Ugh, I don't want to fail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-test-eatingfasting#post-2153538 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 07:19:44 +0000 LindsayInNY 2153538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to eat a high protein breakfast that morning. Not carby or fruits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-test-eatingfasting#post-2153525 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 07:06:44 +0000 dc yoga bee 2153525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I took it the midwife told me to fast so I did, and passed. The second time I took it they told me not to fast, eat whatever, and I failed it. I had a snickers bar the night before that one, and they swore it wouldnt affect the test at all. I had to then take the three hour test, and they called me on the weekend to tell me I passed and how they couldn't believe how perfect my numbers were. Never again. I will always fast for any future pregnancies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-test-eatingfasting#post-2153518 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 07:00:06 +0000 MrsBananaGrabber 2153518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't taken it yet, but my doctor told me that I should eat before doing it. A friend had hers recently and didn't eat before, and she said she wished she had eaten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glucose-test-eatingfasting#post-2153511 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 06:55:46 +0000 MrsH 2153511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to take my glucose test today because I was working from home and there is a lab by my house. But I was feeling super nauseous/dry heaving and without thinking I just ate a bowl of special K with brown sugar (its the gluten free flavor) am I going to be screwed? My test isn't at a schedule time I'm just supposed to go in. Should I just go a different day? Wait four hours and go in? </p>
