Hi, don't have sugar before hand.. The stuff you have to drink is like fruit punch but about 5x stronger. lots of sugar in it... It isen't too bad believe it or not. Good Luck

Well for me I didnt know I was getting it done. And I failed. But I got a pop like thing and it tasted just like orange crush. Dont eat pasta, or alot of carbohydrates, that way your blood wont be to high, go for a brisk walk before you go in to make your sugar levels go down. I wish I knew this stuff before lol. Good Luck.

Is this your first or second test. If it's the first, make sure you don't have any simple carbs (sugar, white flour etc) until the test, eat protein and veggies. Don't even chew gum. Drink lots of water. This will help you to pass the first so you don't have to take the second (it sucks !!). If this is your second, you have to fast a minimum of 12 hours- make sure to check with the lab to see what their fasting rules are. Good luck!! If you truly have gestational diabetes, none of these precautions will work anyway.

The first post I made didn't show so if this duplicates, sorry. The day of the test, don't have any simple carbs (ie sugar, white flour). Eat protein and veggies. Don't chew gum, drink lots of water. This will help you to pass the first test but if you truly have gestational diabetes, no precautions will help. Hopefully you won't have to go in for the second test, it sucks !! Good luck !!

Tiramisu---Follow everyones advice, and make sure not to drink any Juices. It's really simple and not too bad. Just have to drink something that taste like FLAT orang soda w/in 5 min...then they take ur blood.

Thanks everyone!!!
