1 Hr Glucose test tonight - Question added
Wish me luck!! I'd really hate to fail - I don't know how I'd get time off from work in order to do the three hour! 
ETA: My appt is at 7:30, so I start the drink at 6:45. Any suggestions what I should have for dinner? The instructions said I could eat normally but I'm still thinking I should watch what I eat!!

what you eat truly doesn't matter....but you can try to avoid 'carby' foods...
what i tell everyone -
you could fast for 3 days and FAIL if you have GD.
you could eat 10 lollypops an hour before the test and PASS if you don't have it.
it's in your blood....simple as that!

Re: 1 Hr Glucose test tonight - Question added
I disagree regarding the eating whatever you want.
I was given the test and i was told that i could eat up to 1 hour b4 i drink the drink. So that means 2 hours b4 they draw blood i could eat.
I did eat, and my result was 140, which in my practice is failing. 139 is passing.
I do not have to do the 3 hour again, but i have to do the 1 hour again.
My suggestion is that you should make sure when they look at the chart that they look at a non fasting glucose level because that is different. 140 is for fasting glucose test, and i argued a bit regarding the numbers but i still have to do it again.
Just to add i understand that 140 or even 145 doesnt mean GD, but it does mean you do the test again, and you most likely do the 3 hour again. The 3 hour is the true indicator, but no one wants to do it if they dont have to. I think the rule is that at 140 they identify 80 percent of women with GD and at 130 it is 90 percent.

When I did the one hour they told me not to eat anything too "sugary" for an hour prior to the test.

I ended up eating some chicken salad.
I also used DH's glucose monitor to check my blood sugar ... it was 87.

This is exactly what my doctor told me. She just called my home and told me that I failed the 1 hour  by three points. She said it doesn't mean I have GD but I have to do the 3 hour which is the "sure thing" test. Just made the 3 hour appt online. I can't stand the waiting around at that place.
Anyway, good luck threadstarter.
