What did you eat and did you pass the 1 hour?
I have mine coming up. I failed my one hour the first time around and didn't eat anything before..
Wondering if I should eat this time around. Don't wanna fail!

I ate a piece of toast with natural PB (no sugar) about 2 hours before I went to the lab. I passed with flying colors! I also made sure to eat a lot of protein for a few days leading up to it.

I have to fast for 8 hours prior to mine.
But, I'm getting the 2 hour one at only 9 weeks so maybe it's different. Idk.

Hmmm, I passed my one hour test for my last pregnancy. I ate lunch around 12 and took the test around 3:30. Good luck!

II had to fast for the 12 hours before my test. Which is probably why I was so ridiculously sick after my test....I felt like I was hit by a truck and was puking...it was horrible.

I was told not to eat anything for 2 hours before, and because my test was butt-crack early I didn't eat anything and failed the 1 hr.

I had an egg and a piece of toast around 7:30ish? My test was at 9 I believe. I passed I was told just to avoid really sugary items and to not eat right before the test. Good luck!

Hmm...seems like eating is the way to go. I was told to fast for 12 hours and failed.

I passed my one hour by NOT eating, but my c-r-a-z-y OBGYN insisted I take the three hour one (because of my resting glucose, but I think she hated that I made big babies). For the three hour one you can't eat anything after midnight the night before. I recommend you don't eat anything, or if you do low carb, (think cheese, eggs, protein) sugars and bread will spike blood sugar.

I'm confused by this. Is there are way to 'cheat' the test? What if you do have GD? Will it not show up if you don't eat certain foods the day before the test? I don't want it either, believe me, but I would want to know if I had it, right?

I am so confused by this!
I was told it was fine to eat before the 1 hr, just to avoid carbs (fruit, bread) and dairy (milk, cheese). My test is first thing tomorrow morning... still not sure whether or not I should eat!
@JerricaBenton: I agree... I don't want to fail, but at the same time, I want accurate results. If I have GD, I want to know about it!

I ate lunch before my one hour and then took it at like 4 pm, I don't even remember what I ate though. I failed by one point. I fasted overnight before the three hour and passed.

I was told not to eat for only the hour before and other than that to eat normally. I had a bagel and cream cheese around 8, and then my appointment was at 11:40. I passed with flying colors.
