Gluclose Test & Breakfast? Posted: 07-15-07 21:15pm
just wondering, because i have my gluclose
test tomorrow morning at 8:15 am, can i
eat beforehand? i should have called my
doctor today, but i was out & about
running errands, so it totally slipped my
already frazzled mind.
also, it's just a drink & a blood
test, correct? nothing more involved?
thanks.

i was told to eat as i normally would
before going in. though if you fail and
have to take the 3 hour test you will have
to fast.
yup, it's just a drink, then you have to
sit for an hour, then they take your
blood.

i was told not to eat anything.
that's the first, one hour test right?
that's the only one i took and they told
me no food after midnight but i could have
water. maybe it depends on what time of
day you have it. mine was at 9 am i
think. or maybe it depends on the doctor,
but even the tech who did the test asked
me if i had eaten that day.

I was told to eat normally, but to try not
to eat anything super-sugary like a donut
because it might alter the results of the
test. You should be okay with a bagel or
something, I would think.

haha. aw. neither am i. i'm not good with
needles in general, though. which is why i
really need something - anything! - in my
stomach before i get any type of prick. i
passed out right after one of my tests. it
was really embarrassing, too.
i'll stick with a bowl of special k. my
daily morning breakfast. usually i add
some sugar, but i'll leave it out for the
sake of the test.
