2nd Trimester

Did you ladies fast

before you took the GD test? I asked my doctor and she said it didn't matter. What did you all do?

Re: Did you ladies fast

  • i just took my this afternoon.  I didn't fast.
  • i ate a balanced meal one hour before taking it.  no breads, excess sugars, juices, or fruit.

    my doctor doesn't want you to fast.

    i'm not sure it matters either way.  i just wouldn't eat a ton of sugar and then take it.

  • I didn't fast before mine and failed by a few points. Today was my 3 hour test and the lab  tech said that ever since they stopped the fasting, she has seen more failed 1 hour tests.  I would suggest fasting or low-carb breakfast.  GL

  • My doctor told me to not have a snicker bar lol  or cereal with high sugar.. but said I didn't really have to fast.
  • If they want you to fast they will tell you to do so.

  • I was given strict instructions not to eat after midnight the day before I went. When I got to the place they asked if I had. They make you drink this super sweet solution, the lady told me " you have to drink it in five minutes, and if you don't keep it down, we won't be able to accurately test me for GD". Then they drew my blood every hour for 3 hrs. It sucked make sure you take some books.
