glucose test procedure?

I forgot to ask my doctory last appointment and my next appointment (26 weeks) ill be scheduling my glucose. My question is do you not eat anything before getting your blood drawn? Then drink that drink and get it drawn again?
Blood work doesn't both me, but if I don't have the proper carbs/ sugar ratio before hand I'm afraid I'll pass out :\

I just did mine. My dr said to try not to eat sugary sweets for the two days leading up to the test. On the day of the test, no carbs or sugar. They recommended eggs and bacon for breakfast. Also dont eat or drink anything between drinking the Glucola and getting your blood drawn.

I wasn't on any diet restrictions for glucose test. And in my opinion you eant to eat bc point of testvto see how your bidy is producing indulin and maintaining your sugar hence to see if you've developed gd. So I'd say no eat normal and healthy prior to drinking the drink and blood draw :-) and quit a few ppl fail the 1 hour and pass the three hour. I did that with first pregnancy this one haven't got that far yet. Lol good luck :-)
