fasting for glucose test?

Do you fast before the 1 hour glucose test? I can't remember and my doc just gave me the paper and didn't explain and I didn't think to ask.

Re: fasting for glucose test?

  • Last time I was told to and this time I was told not to.  I have a different doc this time around.  I was just told to only eat protein in the morning, no sugar.

  • they told me to not eat about 2 hours before the test.

    my test was at 1:30 so i had my lunch around 11:15 and i was fine.

  • My midwife told me to eat something high in protein but low in sugar about an hour and a half before my test.  I had vegetarian chili and passed no problem :)
  • I'm having my test done today as well, and I wasn't sure if I should or not. I just got off the phone with my doctor and they said, no eat regularly. Hope this helps!
  • I was also told to eat regularly.  But I skipped the cereal and milk and opted for something higher in protein.  Oh- and I failed it by less than 10 points.

  • I had cereal around 8 am that morning and the test at 11 am and I passed by a large margin. You're not supposed to eat or drink after you drink the glucose stuff, but before that is fine, at least according to my doctor.

  • I was told I didn't have to fast, but it didn't matter if I did. My appointment was at 8am so I didn't eat anything before hand. I think I got a 115 or something.

  • I was told to eat normally- I had it around 10am and I think I ate a muffin and a banana beforehand. I had it almost two weeks ago and haven't heard from the doctor's office so I am guessing that I passed.

  • Different docs give different instructions on this.  Mine only has you fast for the 3 hour- not the 1 hour.
