I have my glucose test on Friday and I've been stressing all week. What should I eat the day before? What should I avoid? I never had a glucose test done with my daughter, so I don't really know what to eat.

[StacyAl]

No, I had a doctor in Texas. He didn't even do the anatomy scan. Pretty scary. And I didn't have my daughter like ten years ago, she's barely turning four in November. When I told my doctor I had never gotten the glucose test, he just shook his head and said wow.

Do you have the same dr? If so I'd ask why they didn't test your previous pregnancy.

Toast with peanut butter would probably be good. Not sure my mom remembers having it done so its not something new

[StacyAl]

What I don't understand is why I never got tested when I was pregnant with my daughter.

You can eat normally, i moved and haven't seen a dr in 2 months. Finally seen a dr yesterday and aswe we're going over my chart she had me to drink the drink and go down for testing after the appointment. I think you can't eat for the 3 hour though

[StacyAl]

My paper says eat normally, however they suggest that patients avoid items high in sugar or carbohydrate content two hours prior to testing. So maybe toast with peanut butter?

My Dr preferred u not eat before the test but that if u need to...then a piece of toast or something of that nature

[krissy1008]

My doctors told me to not eat anything sugary the night before and to only eat lite the day of like toast or eggs

are they giving you the one where you can eat right before or the one you cant eat past midnight?

[KTowne]

You definitely should eat normal and then that way they know if there is an issue or not, i ate ridiculous amounts of sugar with my son, that's alll i craved, and i passed with no issues

Well whoever told you no chewing gum day before doesn't know what they are talking about. I was chewing gum up to the point I had the drink that drink. You just can't eat or drink or chew gum for an hour. And eat normally. I passed it and Iate normally.

[StacyAl]

I heard that you can't even chew gum the day before. I think that's when I started freaking out lol

[HayleighsMommy22]

eat normally. a lot of women fail the 1 hour test. i did and then went and took the 3 hour one and passed with flying colors

I just had mine. I ate everything I normally eat. I cut back on sugar a little but not much at all. It wasn't awful. Its the hour long wait that gets you
