Any advice? Im trying to eat a good protein lunch with a bowl of chili, and a hard boiled egg per the nurse's advice. Its been so long since Ive done this (youngest child is 7 in November), I just cant remember anything.

Your diet sounds great to me. I failed my first test (1 hour) by just 1 point. The doctor made me do the 3 hour (fasting) and I passed it.

Just eat in moderation, even fruits have natural sugar. I use to eat half of watermelon (that was my craving) in one sitting during summer, then I realize it is not a good practice, now I do portion control.

You should be fine, you drink that liquid they give within 5 mins, then you are to drink water after 15 mins, after an hour, they get blood samples. You'll do just find, just relax. Good luck.

I would just eat what you would normally eat..... If you try to change your diet in order to pass the GTT, then gestational diabetes may be missed and you may not get the appropriate care for your pregnancy. That's just my opinion though

I actually ended up eating some sugar before hand because I just couldnt resist a nice piece of pumpking pie.....sweets have been my craving throughout the pregnancy. But I did eat the diet I was told...not really overdoing it with sweets and trying to eat a healthy protein diet. I barely passed the nurse said, and they called and asked me to come in to see a nutritionist. Which is fine with me....gives me some time off work
