Did you fast before the 1 hour?

My Dr told me to fast before my 1 hour  tomorrow morning but it seems like a lot of people were told to eat a high protein breakfast. Did you fast before your 1 hour? Did you pass? Thanks!!

    See... my doc told me not to. This is so weird! So many conflicting practices for different doctors!

    Nope.  I had a b-fast burrito (one of my fav. meals.)  My number was 88.

    I have my 1 hour tomorrow, too...I was given specific instructions NOT to fast and to eat normally leading up to it (i.e. no high protein or other dietary restrictions).

    I took an early one, which I was told not to eat anything high in carbs, and then a second one, which I was told to fast since it gave more accurate results. If your doctor said to fast, I would fast.

    my Dr said to have a normal breakfast, so I did.  Frosted mini wheats and OJ.  I passed.

    Yeah I did fast, it was a 9:00 appointment so they told me to skip breakfast if I could but if I got dizzy to eat.

    yes i was told nothing 1 hour prior to test. i would do what your dr says. a lot of glucose tests are different. different dose amount......whether its a drink or a candy bar. i would follow the orders for the one you are taking.

    My doctor said not to, but said not to eat anything sugary the morning of, and to not eat about an hour and a half before the test because it could alter the results.

    I was told to do exactly whatever it is I'd normally do.  So, I ate a "normal" lunch for me, and had the one-hour glucose test about 2-1/2 hours later... for no particular reason other than that the lab is between work and home, and I stopped there on my way home from work.

    I didn't eat or drink anything after midnight... then when I took the test (around 11) they told me I could have had something... I passed though.

    Just do what you would normally do. Your doctor needs to see how your body reacts to your usual diet.

    I had a "pop" test (they did at my apt but didn't warn me). Of course, I had eaten three thin mints right before my apt. My doctor said it wouldn't matter. Sure enough, I passed with flying colors.

    As a side note: Bring food to eat after they do the blood draw.  I was dizzy and nauseous after the test until I got home and ate.

    Mine told me not to fast.  I had my usual breakfast.  Failed the 1 hour and take the 3 hour on Monday.  They are having me follow a high carb diet Fri - Sun and fast Sunday night.

    Mine told me to eat normally, and have a good breakfast with protein (not super sugary stuff) - I passed with flying colors.

    I've heard a lot of conflicting advice, too, even from within the dr's office!  I DID eat, though, because I really didn't think I'd do well fasting.  (as in I'd get sick to my stomach.)  I ate my normal breakfast of 3 eggs.  Don't know if I passed yet or not, though, because I haven't heard my results yet.  I'm planning on calling tomorrow to find out.

    My doctor didn't tell me anything. 

    My mom (who is a type 1 diabetic) told me that it doesn't really matter, if your body is working correctly and processing sugars correctly then you should pass whether you eat before it or not.

    I have mine tomorrow morning too, and the only thing my MW said was to not eat a huge breakfast. I think I'll just have some eggs and toast.
