One hour glucose?

Andrewsgal · October 2013

I have my test tomorrow the nurse said I don't need to fast. Did you eat before yours? If so what?

kcisthebombdotcom · October 2013

I ate before. Can't exactly remember what, but likely either a bowl of rice chex or a banana with PB. I passed.

dmartin726 · October 2013

Um no one told me to fast or eat anything in particular and I had a big brownie on my way...and PASSED. haha. I guess it all depends.

goillini823 · October 2013

I just had mine last week. I fasted and failed

. I've got the 3 hour on Saturday. I didn't fast with either DD or DS and passed those.

JCM · October 2013

My OB told me the same thing & said I could have a breakfast bar. I failed & had to go back for the 3 hour (4 blood draws) not fun! If I were to ever have to have it again I would fast. I passed my 3 hour test.

pitterpatter129 · October 2013

My first OB told me not to fast and I failed and had to do the 3 hour, which sucked. My OB with kid #2 told me to fast from midnight until the test (like 9am) for the one hour and I passed. If I did it again, I would fast again.

zbeesma86 · October 2013

I had eggs and oj the morning of my test and passed.

rockyrollgirl · October 2013

I had a bowl of cereal I think. Failed by one point.

lightgetsin · October 2013

I wouldn't fast. I tried that once and failed and then had to do the 3 hr.

LatteLady5 · October 2013

I didn't know I was going to have my test the day I had it. I had a bagel sandwich for breakfast and a bunch of chewy sweet tarts before mine. I passed just fine. I wouldn't advise the sweet tarts though.

I probably would have been sick if I hadn't had any protein and if I knew about it I would have had an omlet or something.

MomIn2013 · October 2013

If she said not to fast, then I'd make sure to eat something. I think you're supposed to eat a "regular" breakfast, without a lot of sugar, like eggs and toast, peanut butter, etc.

notkateanymore · October 2013

I was supposed to fast both times, I took it early for my MFM and had to fast for 12 hours, no food or water. For my OB, I had to fast from midnight on, no food but I could have water. Passed both.

I ate what I'd normally eat - I think w/ DD2 it was yogurt and some kind of bar, maybe a piece of fruit. DD1's was at the end of the day so I'd eaten breakfast, lunch, snacks, etc.

Isn't this early AG?

yes it is because I am AMA:( I will take it again at 28 weeks.

No fun. My first was ten pounds and had blood sugar issues so they think I had undiagnosed gd. I had to take the test like four times. That drink is gross. You have my sympathies.

khill86 · October 2013

I had scrambled eggs, toast, an apple and plain yogourt. I passed just fine. Although I almost threw up the glucola in the waiting area.

Welcome to my world. I had to take it bc I had a odd result on my AFP test and GD was one of the things that could cause it. Yuck, the horrible drink twice without failing either is just mean.

Dochas · October 2013

Dr. said I didn't have to fast but I did anyway. When I got to the test they seemed to think I should have been fasting.

lyingliarlies · October 2013

a pregnant friend of mine was allowed to eat m&m's instead of drinking that stuff. i'll take that test any day! maybe if it was served cold it would be a little more tolerable.

notkateanymore · October 2013

You mean it's not cold for some of you? Oh hell no.

Andrewsgal · October 2013

Ewww I could not drink it hot. My first OB with Emma let me drink a coke instead. I loved her for that.

nope it was room temp. it was red (i guess they have different flavors?) i ate very healthy while pregnant so i was not used to the sugar & i felt nauseated afterwards. though recently i had a kid size apple & eve juice box (no sugar added, healthy as you can get for juice) & i felt so sick afterwards.

i was given a list of foods i could eat that morning. i think i had toast and eggs.

caybeh · October 2013

Mine was in the afternoon. I ate like normal and passed.

Mine was room temp.

And disgusting.

And made me sick. I was sort of happy to get dx at 16w because that meant I didn't have to drink that shit again.

mine was room temp too- tasted like warm, watered down, unfizzy Sprite.

kalette · October 2013

I had hard boiled eggs and milk (big cravings with DD) and passed with a 77 or something ridiculous.

LoriLee14 · October 2013

They told me not to eat before the test unless I felt sick. They also sent the drink home with me at the visit before. I was supposed to drink it an hour before my apt and the make sure the nurse knew that when I signed in so they would make sure to test me on time. I liked that I could drink it at home and not sit in the waiting room for an hour

rach10782 · October 2013

I had a banana and greek yogurt and I passed.

sschwege · October 2013

I ate both times. I remember the first time, it was in early afternoon so I think I just had some chicken beforehand. With my second it was first thing in the morning and I had an apple and a biscuit with butter and honey (didn't realize I was going to be taking the test that day or I would have skipped the honey). But I easily passed both times, second time around my score was really low, strangely enough with all the sugar, it was a 69.

I was told to eat like normal before mine but to avoid anything sweet. FWIW mine was in the middle of the afternoon so I ate breakfast and lunch like normal. I don't remember exactly what I ate but probably something higher protein and not a lot of carbs. I passed no problem. Eta: I think if I'd had to drink that stuff on an empty stomach I'd have been sick! The drink itself wasn't terrible just very sweet! I had the Orange one and it tasted like overly sweet flat Orange soda.

Yeah, the orange one isn't bad, I mean I wouldn't drink it voluntarily, but not totally disgusting. The second time around they gave me a lime one, that really was gross!

bumpuser8448316 · October 2013

My doctor told me to eat normally and not try to eat something specific to try and pass the test. I don't remember what I ate with DS but with DD I had peanut butter toast
