I was told to eat whatever I wanted up until the test, but to avoid a lot of sugar, and then after drinking the stuff, I couldn't eat anything until the hour was up and they'd taken the blood. I know they were also testing my blood for hemoglobin (iron) to see if I was anemic, which sounded like it is the standard at my clinic.

Poor you hun
I have my tests (fasting, 2hr drink test) and I am absolutely dreading it. I can really wind myself up over worrying.

I hope when they test you again you are ok.
Hope your week improves too

now i am worried that it's going to come back high because of what i ate the day before. i could barely stand the 1 hour one i don't think i can bare doing the 3 hour.
as long as you haven't eaten or drank anything in 3 hours before the test you're good.

I went for my 3 hour 2 weeks ago and I have gestational diabetes. It's not easy but I try to think about LO and it's not permanent.

I wish you all the best of luck and I hope your levels come out normal. I hate having GD but I'd hate not knowing and hurting my lil man even more.

I want chocolate cake
