Don’t drink or eat anything sugary before test ( I mean it’s different for everybody )

My doctor told me pure protein but I feel like I don’t want to eat anything before hand but if I don’t eat anything will I just fail anyway

You really don’t need to worry about it. The drink doesn’t taste bad. I ate a non sugary breakfast and I was really fine the whole time. I hope it goes well for you!

Same as above, I had eggs and avocado for breakfast, was worried about the test but it was actually fine - you've got this

Thank you 🙏🏼

I forgot that I was supposed to fast before the test and ate a bunch of sugar cookies and short bread before mine😂 test was just fine though. Don’t stress about it. More than likely you’ll be just fine

I didn’t even know I was having mine as they told me it would be a different appointment. So zero prep and no fasting. The drink isn’t great but also not the worst thing I’ve ever drank. Think flat Fanta? It’s certainly not fun but after I felt like my nerves were for nothing. Maybe the key is to be surprised? Haha

Try your best to sleep or bring a crossword or something to keep you occupied. It takes forever and you’ll most likely feel nauseous so whatever you can to distract yourself will help. I didn’t think the drink was that bad, ask for a straw and chug it. I got a lemon one or something and it kinda just tasted like a super sweet lemonade/gatorade

It's a little different for everyone. I personally did fine with the drink and didn't feel too nauseous. Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor with any concerns. ❤️

It’s a bit tedious but try not to fret. Even if the results show GB it’s easily treatable and they will monitor you more closely. The diabetes doesn’t mean you or baby will have life long diabetes.
