Blood Glucose/Gestational Diabetes test?
Nov 15, 2009 | Blood Glucose Diabetes
Ok, My G.D test is in about 7 hours. It is just the onehour test, and I am not supposed to fast. But what can I eat in the morning? I know not pop tarts or anything like that, but is cheerios ok? I have to eat something! Lol. I need answers soon!
Thank you everyone! My test is actually at 9am, so fasting wouldnt be hard, but I AM pregnant, and LOVE food, so I want food now, and was making sure if I ate now I wouldn’t be screwing myself over! Thanks again!
Everyone I know who eats before they go, fail the test. Even if they go on to pass the 3 hour one. My test is in 3 weeks and I am going to fast for it even though I was told I could eat breakfast if I want to. I definitely wouldn’t eat anything sweet. Maybe just toast or unsweetened cereal. My test is very early in the morning so I won’t have any problem fasting. Good luck.

I was told this time around to eat what i wanted but to not eat anything at all 3 hrs before the test and nothing but water to drink. Protein is always good to eat. A small bowl of cherrios should be just fine.

Try and avoid any sugars. Corn flakes or plain toast is the go.
I had to fast for 12 hours and had 3 needles, you got the easy test!

Cereal always sends my b/s sky high! But eggs are good, they have protein in them so you are satisfied longer, if you can gut eggs first thing in the morn. I used to have a hard time with them so I always would have oatmeal-no sugar. Good luck!!

The best thing would be brown toast with something like cottage cheese and low fat sugar free yoghurt. black tea with no sugar. Be careful of white bread, contains carbohydrates that turn into high sugar level and diary products. Maybe lettuce and tomato on toast. Lettuce and tomato are good and won’t affect sugar levels. Don’t stress, stress causes sugar levels to rise. I have been a diabetic for 23 years. Good luck!
