Glucose test
My OB told me not to fast and just eat a regular diet prior to my 1hour glucose test. My friends have told me though that they had to fast. Now I'm confused... Do I fast or not? I really don't want to do the 3 hour glucose tolerance test!

You don't HAVE to fast, some people do because they think it'll ensure they don't have to do the 3 hour test. Just don't eat or drink anything sugary before... And try to get it first thing in the morning if possible so you don't eat much anyway. I had my appointment at 10am and just had a little plain yogurt to hold me over til it was done.

You don't have to fast or you'll pass out. Just be smart about what you what before you go in. I would stay away from bananas, sugary cereals, and donuts lol.

Depends on the dr. Do what your dr tells you.

I fasted only because I wasn't sure and definitely didn't want to have to take the test again lol. But as a op suggested, do what your doctor tells you.

I fasted only cause I don't east breakfast and my appointment is always early in the morning. I was told I could eat like normal. But nothing with sugar.

I had no idea when I was getting mine.. they didn't give me instructions to not eat.. I showed up yesterday & they told me I was doing the glucose test. They didn't ask if I ate breakfast or anything..
