Glucose tolerance test today...

in Pregnant after a Loss

So I have been reading other posts and some people say that they had to fast for 12 hours...other saying they were told to stay away from sweets for a week.

I am going this afternoon and this morning have already had some cookies and hot cocoa...should I reschedule my test until tomorrow morning?

    I'm going in for mine tomorrow morning. All they told me to do was fast for 4 hours before hand. I've been trying to avoid sweets for the past couple of days, but that hasn't gone too well. I love to bake around Christmas :)

    You should just go today, the 1 hour test is supposed to be random.  The cookies and cocoa might skew your results, but the worst is that you have to go for the 3 hour (which I think you do need to fast for, but I could be wrong).  Before my 1 hour, I just had a breakfast high in protein and nixed the oj and my results were fine.

    There are different tests. If your doctor did not give you specific directions to fast, you should eat normally. You will be fine.

    For the 1 hour test, you don't need to fast.  Just stay away from sugars till the test.  I didn't get that message and had a muffin and a coffee with cream and sugar in the car on the way to the test (finished it on my walk in). I failed the 1 hour by a point...... so take my advice and don't do that! 

    4 hours is plenty of time for your body to go down to normal. 

    You have to fast for the 3 hour.

    I'm taking mine in two weeks and they gave me the glucose drink to take home and refrigerate.  The nurse told me to eat breakfast (nothing too sugary), wait 2 hours and then finish the drink in 5 mins.  Wait an hour and have my blood drawn.
