3 hour test diet question.

i got paperwork re: my 3 hour glucose test and it says that I have to follow a diet for 3 days before.  It says it's important to have NO sugar for the 3 days before the test.  

WTF? How do you consume absolutely NO sugar at ALL? Don't a lot of things have at least *some* amount of sugar in them? What can I eat?  

I don't get it.  You have to fast, AND not eat sugar for 3 days before.... anyone else have a diet like this? This seems crazy.

    that seems a little bit insane - most things have a little sugar in them, and you aren't going to be doing this for the rest of the pregnancy, so why would you do it for three days before the test? I don't know, though! Good luck!

    I know all dr's are different, but if this were me I'd call the dr's office to question that.  I took the 3 hr test last Thursday and the instructions that I received via phone & mail were to fast 12 hrs prior to the test and to drink plenty of water up until the test.  I got my results today & I passed.

    Good luck!
