oops... another GD question...
I took my 3 hour glucose test yesterday (I'll blog about it once I get my results!) but I just realized I forgot to follow the meal plan for 3 days before the test. I received instructions to carbo-load at each meal for 3 days before starting the fasting period. On the contrary, I ate very healthy and stayed away from large servings of carbs.
Uh oh.

That's strange, that's not part of the test process here at all. You're told to eat as you normally do until the evening before when a light supper is recommended, then a complete fast from midnight to 8 am when the first blood is taken. Then you have the glucose drink and an hour later second blood is taken, and another hour later the final blood is taken and you're free to go.
Best of luck with it though, hope you pass!

No! I followed a healthy whole grain diet. I wanted to pass that sucker! (said as a mama, not a doc).

@Rachel: I try not to post on health posts if at all possible unless I'm posting from a mom perspective. (FPIEs/MSPI). Sometimes even a mamadoc just wants to chat!

@Mrs. Jacks: I personally would love to hear from our beediatrician more often about health posts

I wasn't instructed to eat any particular way before my three hour test. My mom and sister were visiting the weekend before and they fed me very healthily because they knew I was stressed about failing the one hour test, but after they left I went on a carb binge the night before the test, even got a big piece of cake because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to eat sweets after the three hour test. I still passed luckily
