Hi ladies,

I have my glucose test coming up in a couple weeks. What do you recommend for breakfast? Eggs? Usually I have golean cereal.

    My ob said eggs and toast. Nothing sugary at all since it can affect the test results. Good luck!!

    Complete fast? My ob actually said to be sure to eat something, but if they ask if I fasted to say yes. He says that not eating anything at all before the test can also throw off the results.

    Yep, they do the two hour test with three blood draws. This is the second one I've had this pregnancy! I'm actually sitting in the lab waiting room on their wifi now ;)

    This.

    I did mine last week and could not eat or drink anything other than water after midnight.  It was the same when I did it when pregnant with DD.

    My OB didn't say one way or the other and since our lab opens at 7:30 I just rolled out of bed and did it first thing without eating anything....we'll see how that goes.

    But yes, avoid sugary and starchy foods.  My SIL thought, naively, she could eat a bagel (since it wasn't sugar) without realizing that the body breaks the carbs down as sugar.

    My dr said fasting is not necessary but recommended if I can. I will be going first thing in the morning just so I can fast for sure!

    My doctor told me to carb up. I had 2 biscuits with jelly and passed with a great score of 109.

    No Fair! ^^^ This is me too! Luckily they give the very first appointment slots for glucose testing. I just walk in and go right to the lab area- no waiting. But I sure do get grouchy when I'm hungry!

    Ugh. I've had to fast for all mine as well! No fun.

    That's the part I hate. I couldn't give a flick about the drink...it's the no food that pisses me off.
