Don’t eat anything before hand. They didn’t tell me this for he 1 hr test and I failed. For my 3 hr test they told me not to eat before hand and I passed no problem.
My Dr told me to eat light like toast and eggs I passed the first time . It was like drinking kool aide with alot of sugar it wasn't as bad as I've heard at all.
Just because you fail the 1 hr, doesn’t mean you’ll fail the 3 hr. When I failed my 1 hr, I got super upset and thought I had done something wrong. Turns out me failing the 1hr was a glitch. Probably something I had eaten, even though I had fasted as instructed.
Also, make sure you show up to your Dr office 40-45 minutes after you’ve started your drink (you have to drink it fast). I made the mistake of showing up there right at an hour, and ended up getting back to the lab a few minutes late. They refused to draw my blood and I had to redo the whole 1hr test. (Which also may be why I failed since I redid it the next day. lol)
And, lastly, get the lemon-lime one. Tastes like sprite but a tad sweeter. 👍🏼
Speak to your doctor and whos doing the test they typically want you to fast before the test which sucks but depending on what time it is it wont be to bad everytime i have tested they have had me fast for a minimum of 4 hrs before the test except for the 3 hr long test i had to fast for 8 hrs for that one but i passed my test and only failed my 1 hr this time because i ate in that 4 hr period time

You can eat before the 1 hour test you just want to watch what you eat because you don’t want to take in to much sugar

Just eat protein the morning of your test. Not eating before the 1 hour isn’t good either. It’s not as bad as people say.

Your doc will tell you if it’s fasting or not. Mine wasn’t and I just had egg whites beforehand. Awaiting my results.
