I have my glucose test in the morning. I was just wondering if there's anything I should or shouldn't do for it? Thanks

Ya your supposed to fast that morning meaning not eat, it should even say it on your paper that you give them. That way they measure your blood sugar solely on the drink. I had the orange flavor during last pregnancy wasnt too bad, a friend of mine had the lemon lime flavor and she said it ruined sprite for her. So I'm gonna do orange again forsure next week

It depends if it's the one hour or the three hour test. If it's the one hour (screening), then don't eat anything 3 hours prior. If it's the 3 hour test, then don't eat anything 10 hours prior. Nothing you eat before that really is going to make you pass or fail- you either will pass or wont. If you're taking the 3 hour test make sure to eat well the night before so you don't feel hungry! :)

My midwife told me to eat a high protein snack before, so I don't get sick. I have no idea what to eat because I wanna pass!

They should of given you a list of the meals you can eat on your last appointment. Which is just veggies and fresh fruit.
