My doctor told me not to eat too much sweets before the test. That's all he mentioned was sweet foods. The day of the test, if I'm hungry to eat boiled eggs but i normally dont eat that early in the morning, i will probably just drink water. My appointment is at 9:45. I was instructed to start drinking at 8:30 and finish by 8:45.

I would say just go ahead and fast before the test. A lot of times people fail because they didn't fast then they have to take a fasting 3 hour test and pass that one. Save yourself the trouble and fast the first time.

I took mine today and they told me not eat or even drink anything until after the test and i also couldn't eat anything after midnight

For the 1 hour test I was told not to eat 2 hours before the appointment. And for the 3 hour I was told to fast after midnight

Normally with the one hour test you dont have to fast but best to check with your doctor

[missy_100]

I believe only the hour one then blood work urine sample.  28week test

Indeed, I am doing the long one...not sire how the short one works.

Usually for the 1 Hour test you don't have to fast I didn't have to, but if you are going for the 3 hour one then yes you have to be fasting. But some doctors are different so it's best to ask them if they want you to fast.

I will go for my sugar test tomorrow at 8am. They told not to eat/drink since tonight at midnight. Only water allowed.

Is it the 1 hour or 3 hour test?
