I have my first Glucose test coming up soon. I know I don't have to fast before, but I do know that certain foods (carbs and sugars) can make your levels high resulting in step 2 of the test. Any suggestions on what to eat before? I'd fast if i could, but then i would get sick!
i was told it depends on which test it is....is it the one hour or the 3 hr? w/ the one hr typically u can eat just about whatever u want....but i would not suggest eating for about 1-2 hrs b4 the test if possible....if its the 3 hr then u have to fast overnite and take 4 blood tests once at the beginning and then one every hr for 3 hrs after that....i had to do that and it suckd.....i ended up w/ a high result and that sucks even more....no more eating whatever i want....at least not for the next 24 wks....i found out early cuz i was having lightheaded spells off and on thruout the day....i guess im glad they caught it early tho....so 17 wks of eating "healthy" then 6wks after i find out hopefully i got rid of it....i kno im doomd genetically to get it eventually but im not ready to completely give up eating the "good stuff"....i cant stand diet pop so that is gonna take some REAL getting used to cuz i just got used to cutting down caff. and now this.....AAAHHH!!!
I have to take it next week....and was told I cant eat anything? Its the regular one hour test too. :(
man, when I had it done while pregnant with my son, I wasn't allowed to eat anything. I went from the night before...dinner til 3 in the afternoon the next day w/o eating. I was starving. I hope they changed things this time.

did u have a one hour done already b/c they always do a one hour first then if that result is high they have u get a 3 hr done....either way if ur dr says dont eat then dont eat and if thats the case just make it early in the morning so u dont have to starve urself
