What did you eat before your glucose test?

madalynnsmommy09 · August 2009

I am still on 2nd tri but am coming over here the end of this week, but thought you girls could answer this better.

What did you eat before your glucose test? My clinic is saying to eat something small, but stay away from carbs and sugars. I am not a huge breakfast person, and don't like eggs so it limit my options.

What did you eat?

imaPrincess · August 2009

I went first thing in the morning, so I didn't eat anything before the test, but after I had a big breakfast.

FirefightersBride · August 2009

just make sure you eat some good protein and avoid carbs. If you don't like eggs, maby have some lunch meat?

MargaretNYC · August 2009

I had an 8am appointment and was told not to eat anything after midnight.

Mabzie · August 2009

most docs will tell you to eat whatever before hand. if you fail and have to do the 3hr you have to fast for that. i personally didn't eat any breakfast before my 1hr and still failed.

chelsearenee · August 2009

I ate nothing b/c I didnt feel like eggs and they said stay away from carbs. I still failed the 1hr but passed the 3hr.

My appt wasn't til 4 that day so I ate normal all day long. I did stay away from sweet-although I don't think it matters much bc if you had GD then you have it and nothing you eat that day will change it.

But just make sure you have something in your system so you don't get the sugar rush from the drink or pass out when they take your blood!

I don't remember. Why not whole-wheat bread and peanut butter?

browneyes_24b · August 2009

I had a Kashi waffle with peanut butter, mangoes and a small amount of syrup with a glass of milk. I passed my 1 hour.

star21gazer · August 2009

I didn't eat anything beforehand because it was first thing in the morning...but I ate pretty well after. I passed my one hour.

Pennylane824 · August 2009

I was given no instructions and had mine at 3, so I had a cereal for breakfast, pb&j for lunch with fritos, milk and half a choc chip cookie and still passed.

amanda1128 · August 2009

I wasn't allowed to eat before my test

welchjl · August 2009

I had a piece of wheat toast and some egg beaters. Pretty sure this isnt going to help because you dont like eggs...

Sorry

dswed0407 · August 2009

I didn't eat anything... My test was at 7am, so I woke up, got ready for work, took the test, then went to work and had breakfast. I have a hard time eating that early. Regardless, I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour.

karlybarly · August 2009

I was told to fast for my 1hr.

madalynnsmommy09 · August 2009

I called and they said to eat something small otherwise I might get sick.

Peanut butter and toast is a good idea.

MrsSandro · August 2009

Given I had my test at 3:45 pm...I ate boiled eggs for breakfast with one piece of wheat toast. Then for lunch I had a can of tuna with mayo and one piece of wheat toast. Water all day.

EDIT: and I passed the test with no issues.

MrsM2008 · August 2009

Fasted after midnight. I couldn't really eat much after felt kind of crappy!

TeamRey · August 2009

My doctor told me to eat a low fat starchy snack. They suggested a low fat yogurt or toast with jelly. I have mine on Wednesday and plan on eating a yogurt.

sunnydays99 · August 2009

I had 2 slices of multigrain toast with butter before I went. I passed.

Jessie0706 · August 2009

I have heard it doesn't really matter what you eat because, like pp have said, if you have GD, you have it. But, to answer your question, I avoided anything that had lots of sugar in it (cereals, OJ, etc) and kept it pretty bland and passed.

GL! Can't wait to see ya on 3rd tri this week!!!?

jenna0627 · August 2009

My doctor didn't give me any restrictions. I had a bagel with garden vegetable cream cheese. It was delicious and I passed the 1 hour.

jema30 · August 2009

I had oatmeal with brown sugar for breakfast and a grilled cheese for lunch before I went in for my test. I was told by my doctor that nothing I ate would make a difference. I guess each doctor has different requirements/recommendations.

nmr79 · August 2009

I was told that I didn't have to fast. I ate toast with PB and a bowl of cereal and had a glass of cranberry juice. I passed with no issues.

lovesazzie · August 2009

I had eggs.

deb2126 · August 2009

Hard boiled egg

jennjust · August 2009

I ate a piece of dry toast. (and passed the test) GL!

ilenegrace · August 2009

I ate nothing and failed! Yogart with less sugar would be good.

SmallandNeedy · August 2009

Mine is tomorrow morning. I'm planning on eggs (no toast) with salsa. I'll also eat a yogurt on my way (cause I have to snack ... i have to).

?I'd suggest peanut butter toast and plain yogurt if you are not an egg person.

dreamast.romain · August 2009

I had Frosted Flakes and orange juice..

That's carbs AND sugar. Tongue Tied I still passed.

JaiKriBaby · August 2009

Two pieces of whole wheat toast with cream cheese, a bowl of raisin bran, and a peach. My doc said to eat as normal because you shouldn't be trying to eat for the test - as the pp said, he said if you have GD, you have it no matter what you eat that day. I passed.

anarivera · August 2009

I had a cheese and ham sandwich with coffee with milk (no sugar) and I passed. But around 34 weeks I got GD.

robertsa37 · August 2009

I was given the advice not to eat any complex carbs the night before or the morning of. I had just chicken breasts, veggies and water the night before. Since I had a morning appointment, I didn't have breakfast before and had a big breakfast right after the test. I passed!

metta1313 · August 2009

It doesn't matter what you eat. You can't trick the test. That is what my OB explained to me. It's just the way your body reacts to pregnancy despite how many carbs and sugars you consume. If you are going to have it, you are going to have it. But of course, after I consumed the lovely drink, I could only have water for the hour before they drew my blood.

madalynnsmommy09 · August 2009

Sorry just getting around to reading all the responses. I know you can't trick the test, but I don't want to fail because I had something too sugary for breakfast.

At my last appointment my OB told me that a lady had a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast and failed... yes I don't plan on doing that but I don't want to eat something so I have to take the 3 hour.

rissainthesky* · August 2009

whole wheat toast and hummus. I can't tolerate eggs, I throw them up.

I passed.

jstone03 · August 2009

I was given no restrictions. I had two multigrain waffles with fresh blueberries and lite syrup. I had totally forgotten it was that day, or I may have skipped the fruit and syrup, but I passed anyway.

ericastoll · August 2009

NOTHING

I ate toast with pb on it with my first pregnancy and failed by 1pt. Passed the 3 hr though...
