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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

I went for the 3 hour test (fasting - but still no change in diet) and I passed.

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.

i didn't change anything. didn't eat before both of my tests and I failed both 1 hours!
passed my 3 hour with LO. haven't taken my 3 hour for this pregnancy yet.

I didn't change anything! You want to fail if you have GD anyways so you can be healthy and adjust accordingly
