You only fast if you do the 3 hr test. You will be fine. I however passed my first slightly... Did three hour and passed slightly. And was told to do another three hour to end up with Gestational diabetes.
I also ate about 3 hours before my 1 hour. I think I had cereal. Banana nut crunch..or was it a bagel n cream cheese? Can't remember...anyway, I was exhausted and just wanted to nap after the test, but I passed! Didn't even have to take the 3 hour one.
well they drew my blood about an hour ago and said I should know by Friday. Is what drives people about this test everybody has a different experience.but on the upside everything else looks great.
good luck Kiwi hope the time goes fast for you
I was told not to eat 3 hours before. If I had to eat to eat eggs bc they have alot of protein. I failed my 1st test and im currently sitting here taking theb3 hour test. Yeah me
I ate 15min before n passed with no problems
my 1 hour came back high so i had to do 3 hour and it came back normal actually my 3 hour draw was really low
Havincinco I think its more about how the Dr view the test. I was told some want to see how your body handles what you normally eat. Who knows.
Tomorrow thanks I'm trying to relax since there's not much I can do at this point. I guess worse case scenario I do the 3 hr test.
Ive eaten before all of mine with my three children and passed everyone. Try not to worry too much.
I wonder if they take into account whether youve had GD before. A few of my gfriends get it without fail everytime. I dont know if they fast or not. Ive never had it, so maybe not at risk?
It seems like from everything I read each Dr says something different. I've had friends told to fast and others told not to. I couldn't remember with my first but my bf thinks I had to fast. I've switched Dr since than.
My test is at the end of the month and I asked when I left my last appt. They said not to worry about any fasting or anything. Im wondering if the tests are getting more sensitive to changes because I remember I DID have to fast with my first 2 pregnancies.
Shastas you give me hope.
Mrsmartinez unfortunately I wasn't thinking and had cereal with half a banana :( oh well I made my bed now have lay in it. I still have about 2 hours before the blood draw hopefully it will be okay.
Just make sure what ever you do eat is light with almost no sugar. Or you can't go wrong with fasting.
I ate the morning of mine. I even drank orange juice. I passed mine. I wanted to pass out afterwards. But passed the test.
