Re: 1 hr glucose test
I did have to fast and I had the day off already since it was some holiday. It doesn't take long though.

I did not fast. Mine was at 445 in the afternoon. My dr said that you aren't supposed to fast for the 1hr. I passed if that makes a difference

Re: 1 hr glucose test
Yes, I have done it twice and both my OB and the lab said to fast in order to obtain the most accurate results.

Re: 1 hr glucose test
The 1 hour glucose test is a non-fasting test. And actually, the most accurate results are when you do not fast. I'm not sure why some drs tell you to fast, but it's better to get accurate results by seeing how your body would handle glucose under "normal" conditions to ensure you have a safe pregnancy.
