Almost 24 weeks. I had GD with #1, but passed with #2. I'm not sure if they will re-test or not.
My midwife had me fast from midnight on and drink a small bottle of grape juice. She tested my sugar an hour after drinking the juice. I could have as much water as I wanted.
Mine is this Friday-exactly 27 weeks. I had an early test at 15 wks because of previous GD but I passed that test. I am NOT feeling confident about it this time!
I had one done at 11 weeks....past it but yet have to have another at 28 weeks. Doesn't make sense to me but maybe bc it's my first?!? Idk but I guess I will listen to the Dr.

Do you have any risk factors (diabetes in the family, overweight, etc)? I had to do an early one the first time since I had risk factors, I failed....did an early one this time because of the GD last time. I failed the one hour, but they let me skip the three hour since I had JUST had it with my last pregnancy. My doctor said given my history, even if I passed the 3 hour at 14 weeks, I would have to have the test again at the usual 24-28 weeks and would probably fail. So if you have risk factors and passed the early one, they'll still make you take it at the usual time since you've probably developed it since.

Mine is at 28 weeks. My midwife said to eat a meal with protein 2 hours before my appt. This is also the day I am getting my shot due to my blood type. Going to be an exciting day!
Had mine this morning. My doc's office warned me that you can eat, but should avoid overly sweet things...orange juice or honey can cause a fail...nothing too sugary before the test, so I just had a bowl of cereal and a banana. Oh, and I was told anytime between 24 and 26 weeks.

FYI: That's probably as sugary as OJ when it comes to blood glucose.
I had mine almost 11 years ago when they discovered I was a Type 1 Diabetic. Thank GOD I don't have to drink that awful syrup crap again!! :P
