What did you eat the night before your 3 hr GD test?

incognitoNY · May 2012

My Ob's office only does the 2 hour and they said to eat very low carb the night before which i believe is the same as the 3 hr test, so what did you eat the night before?

I wasn't given any instructions so I ate what I normally would, to get accurate results.

I had grilled chicken and some cheese, then a glass of milk. I passed the 3 hour, but I have no idea what my numbers were. Good luck!

CabbageCabbage:
Not to confuse you but you're supposed to eat high carb before the 3 horus test. You fast for 12 hours prior but I was given a diet plan with a minimum of 100 grams of carb per meal. As I understand it, eating too low carb prior to the test can make you have a false positive.

This exactly.I was given a very specific diet plan that was not low carb.

I was also told to eat "more carbs than usual", and cut back on sugar three days prior.

I think I will have pasta the night before, something that can hold me over for the 12 hour fast.

Good luck!

My doc told me to eat normally prior to my 12 hour fast. Which is probably pretty high carb. He also said reducing carbs could cause a false positive (he said something about shocking the pancreas???).

Chicken broccoli and rice and I passed- I ate no sugar and low fruits for 3 days prior.

I didn't have to do anything special the night before. My test was last Monday, so I ate a normal Sunday's dinner with dessert. 30 mins. prior to drinking the glucose drink I had a lite breakfast. I passed the test no problems here.

I was placed on a 3 day 2000 calorie diet before my 3-hour test, the diet is based on the diet exchange.

For dinner the body before i had 3 oz. grilled chicken breast, 1 cup of grilled asparagus, 1 cup salad greens with tomatoes and light ranch dressing, while wheat roll and 8 oz of milk.

I ate what I would normally. I wanted to pass based on an accurate representation of what I normally ate. I didn't want to spend 3 days eating differently and pass but yet had I eaten normally I would have failed. To me, I didn't think that would be healthy for my baby--what if i actually had GD based on a normal diet ut it got missed because i cut out everything--does that make sense? Of course I am not talking about a DR specific diet to get accurate results.
