Glucose Test

Hi Ladies!! I'm 27 weeks now and I will be going in to take my blood glucose test tomorrow morning at 9. I really want to make sure that I pass the test but I'm so worried that I might eat something bad. I completely forgot about the appointment and I drank a cafe con leche this morning AND I ate a pastelito. After I ate breakfast is when I received the phone call reminding me about tomorrow. SO I told myself that for the rest of the day I don't want to eat anything with sugar. S I have no idea what to eat because everything has at least a little bit of sugar. The nurse told me I could have a bagle with cream cheese. Things that are bland. So I'm literrally thinking of just eating bagels for the day, LOL. What do you guys suggest? Please help, I'm STARVING!!! lol

    honestly, i would just eat normal. if you starve yourself today, the test will not be an accurate reflection of what your body is doing! i wouldn't try to "trick" the system. Just do what you normally do and hopefully your body is processing the sugars just fine and you'll pass anyway..

    Ditto, you don't want to fake this test because if you really have glucose issues the doc needs to know NOW since it can be harmful to both you and the baby. Obviously don't go eating a giant slice of cake. Eat what you normally eat so that its more accurate.

    You should eat your normal diet because that will show if you have GD or not. It's important for the doctor to catch it if you do because it's potentially dangerous for the baby and yourself. And I would def. not eat bagels all day. That is so carb heavy.. you might give yourself a false positive that way. Just have some protein and vegies tonight for dinner and skip the carbs if you're super worried.
