Re: Glucose Test Q....
FOr my one hour, they said it was fine.
But for my 3 hour, I HAD to drink water, i felt like I was dieing! I also was chewing a piece of sugarless gum. They told me to leave and the test couldnt be done. They said I wasnt allowed to have ANYTHING in my system.

Re: Glucose Test Q....
Ask your doctor. I was told I could eat, but I think that is why I had to take the 3 hour.
But I would think water is ok, it doesn't have any sugar, does it?

Re: Glucose Test Q....
You can eat/drink up until the time you have to drink the stuff. Do not eat anything with sugar though!!

Re: Glucose Test Q....
I just took this last night - the paper they gave me said no food or fluids (which they didn't tell me the first time I took the test when I was 12 weeks) for 2 hours before the test - otherwise to do things normally up to that point.
Etd to add I was surprised about the no water (they told me stop water and food at 6, drink at 7 and test at 8)

Re: Glucose Test Q....
Do whatever they ask you to do. Each practice seems to vary on "the rules." Mine said I could eat and drink prior to the drink, just nothing after. Some say no food or drink at all until after the blood is drawn.
side note: why can't they find a way to test this without taking blood?

I was told water was OK. And a toast (I am assuming plain!!!) if I had been too hungry.
ETA: I did not drink or eat prior to mine and passed by 1 point.

I was told to eat and drink normally before the test, but not to have anything after it.
