Glucose Test Tomorrow. question
I have to take the nasty glucose test tomorrow. My midwife didn't say anything about what to eat. I don't want to fast because then my blood sugar will get too low, and I'll pass out. Do you think it's safe to eat a spinach salad with eggs? I don't want to bomb the test, and have to do the 3hr test.

If you eat something that spikes your levels, you'll go in with elevated readings. Although, after 3 hours your levels should be within normal range, if GD is not a factor. I'm referring to the last blood draw after drinking the glucose solution.
I would suggest not eating at least 3 hours prior, if you can manage.
