Glucose test question!

[Jacid12]

I have to take the glucose test but my doctor never told me how long to fast for.. She wrote it down on a piece of paper but all I can read is fast for ???? I can't read her hand writing!

Im quite literally taking the 3 hour glucose test now. They said fast for 10 hours prior.

I'm getting the glucose test next month and I don't need to fast. It says it bold on my instruction sheet. Im doing the 1 hr one. But my doc said to never fast when ur preggos too.

The nurse told me just dont rat anything sugary before I go in.

It really depends on the office. I've been to four different offices for my four pregnancies and the first two I asked me to fast after midnight,  third one said to eat a non sugary breakfast but to fast after 8am, and my last one just surprised me with the test. I told them I had a Dr Pepper with my breakfast and they said that was fine I didn't need to fast and gave me the test right then. I actually passed too lol.

Sugestion is to book your appt for firat thing in the morning.  Then dont eat anything from dinner until after the test. I have to ake theae tests all the time. Its been how I was told to do it.

For the one hour test you don't have to fast.

I couldn't eat past midnight for my 1 hour test.
for my 3 hour test, I had to fast for 12 hours.

12 hours***

Depends on what test? For the one hour tests I didn't have to fast but for the 3 hour one it was 1w hours
