You're not allowed to eat or use the restroom after the drink so use the restroom beforehand. And, you also aren't allowed to leave the hospital during the test so bring a book or something else to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-help-this-twitter-user-first-glucose-test-tomorrow-any-tips#post-60641 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:10:46 +0000 sulli301 60641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avoid sugar/sweet items, carbs, and "bad" things.

Avoid sugar the day before (I didn't do this and just barely failed the first one). My doctor said no food or water from 12am the night before, so check with yours on what they recommend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-help-this-twitter-user-first-glucose-test-tomorrow-any-tips#post-60588 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:45:00 +0000 heffalump 60588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bring something to eat for right after the test.
