@emily18234, I meant to take it sooner. You have to wait 24 hours sometimes for things to go through the system as ordered so I figured I'll come back Friday then ended up with a stomach bug the day of my appointment. So I was like I'll go Monday and ended up waking up with severe back spasms that lasted a week and a half. Now I'm concerned I have it and am harming my baby. I wish this pregnancy would hurry up I worry to much about her in there.

I totally get it. I almost "forgot" to take it that day because I was going to fast for it to try and sway the results, but my doctor surprised me with "you got to get this done today" so I didn't have a chance. my blood sugar is naturally low though. last time, I ate an entire pack of oreos a few hours before the test and my doctor was shocked how low it still was

@emily18234, I don't think I was supposed to fast. I was sick when they told me to go do it so I ended up waiting to weeks before doing it. I just hope I don't have it because needles scare me so there is no way I can poke myself daily.

I didn't fast either. I had a bacon egg and cheese bagel and my sugars were still nornal. if it was a fasting test, it could have skewed the results, however, if it was not a fasting, then it would not have had an effect

@emily18234, I didn't fast. they said I didn't have to. I had a bagel that morning. I don't remember what I had the night before. I can't fast because it will do more damage possibly then good.

short term, if you went in there after drinking a slushie, yeah the test would be off. but if you went in there fasting, your insulin is not regulating your blood sugars like it should

eating sugar.

@emily18234, what affects blood sugar then?

no. glucose is blood sugars, so being hungry would mean your blood sugars would be low
