do's and dont's for the glucose screening

Hey ladies,

 So I have my glucose screening today and I wanted to get advice for what to eat and not to eat today. I remember my doctor saying not to eat 2 hours before hand and if I don't normally eat sweets at night then certainly don't gorge on a piece of cake the night before.

Other than that...any thoughts? My apt is at 4pm this afternoon. I'm of course going to try to stay away from anything sugary...except for my protein shake I'm sipping on now. Anything else?

    My appointment is in the morning and they told me to only eat protein, like eggs and to just drink water.  Good luck with your test.

    Don't try to cheat the test.  Just eat normally before hand unless your normal breakfast is something extra carby or sugary.

    Watch your carb intake.  I would go with a nutrious breakfast or lunch, You can do a grilled chicken sandwich with no french fries for lunch since you appointment is not until 4:00.

    My doctor told me to eat like I normally do before having the drink.  She said no special diet is necessary.  I was also told I couldn't have anything to drink, not even water, or eat once I finished the glucose drink.  After they draw my blood I can have water and/or food.
