Ok so I have that 3 hour glucose test Tuesday and I just got directions to eat lots of carbs for three days before, I've never had gestational diabetes any other pregnancy or had to do this 3 hour test before. Does anyone understand what all the carbs and starches are necessary? I'll do it I would just like to understand it and how it would affect the test results.

They never told me to do that when I had to take the 3 hour one

I had my 3 hour glucose test about 3 weeks ago. I wasn't told about the carbs. I just limited any sugary products 2 days before. I was told I could sip on water throughout the test. I passed. I hope everything works out. I was so scared.

That's weird .. all they told me to do was not eat or drink after midnight the day before my test

You're lucky they said you could sip water during the test, they told me not to drink anything. But they didn't make me sit there, they said I could walk around the hospital so I snuck a couple sips of water to keep myself from throwing up lol @cs2013mom

I was suppose to just there but I walked down the hall and back 2x.

They just told me not to eat or drink after midnight. I couldn't even have water through the test..don't worry it's not horrible though just long and boring. Not sure about the carbs. I was told whatever you eat or don't eat before, you don't want to try to fool the test. The 3 hr is diagnostic and much more accurate and if you have GD you definitely WANT to know. I was also told most people do just fine on it 😊 Good luck! @jennyrose1145
