Another glucose test question re: exercise

Did anyone's doctor tell them whether or not they should go to the gym or work out before the test?  Mine is tomorrow morning but, since I don't have to be at work as early, I was hoping to get in a workout before doing the test.  Does anyone have any information about whether that'll throw off the test results?

    My doctor didn't say anything, but I swam less than an hour before I went to take the test.  And I passed just fine.  :)

    For my 3 hour (which I passed thank goodness!) the sheet said to keep your normal routine but don't do anything the day of the test.  Don't know if that's the same for the 1 hour.  All I was told about the 1 hour is I didn't have to fast.  I'm sure you're fine to work out esp. if it's part of your normal routine.

    It shouldn't matter if you work out BEFORE you do the test.

    On the side of my glucola it said no vigorous exercise before the test, but it ALSO said (and I quote) "Remain quiet for the duration of the test."  The whole time we were waiting at the office DH kept looking at me and saying "shhhhhhhhh." which just made me giggle. Stick out tongue
