Did you eat before your glucose test?
In my first pregnancy I did, I ate 2 or 3 boiled eggs. I was told that was ok then and I passed it. Now, my second pregnancy, I’m been told it’s supposed to be on an empty stomach.
I’m going to check again with my doctors office, just curious about y’all experience

Depends if it is a fasting glucose test or random. You can eat normally for a random but obviously have to fast (a good few hours but dont remember exactly) for fasting test
The gestational diabetes test I wasn't allowed to eat beforehand (from midnight)
The GD one 18 years ago, I didn’t have to fast. Last summer, I had to do another one, they said I didn’t have to for the 1 hour one, but if I end up needed to do the second one, I’d have to fast.
I wish I would have tasted because I was baaarely over the limit, and had to do the second one and the second one was horrible because I had to get pricked three frigging times.
