[quote=Anonymous][quote=sybersus][quote=Anonymous]I am poster 14:45.  Just got my results from the second 1-hour test and I passed with a 110.

I have been told by many medical professionals that the 1-hour test is supposed to be taken fasting.  However, I was giving a document by my OBGYN that told me to eat breakfast that morning and even gave some examples of a good breakfast.  I ate a meal that was on the list, and I added 25g of sugar to the 50g that are in that drink!  So that certainly pushed me over.

For the retest, I did nothing different except skipping breakfast.  My diet in the days leading up to it was normal.  I was not looking to cheat the test- just follow the rules of the test (which include fasting) and get a fair reading.[/quote]

Is that accurate?  My midwife told me to eat as normal and then take the one-hour test.  She said only the three-hour test should be done fasting.  I want to make sure to get it right, as I'm supposed to go in for the test next week and want the most accurate reading possible.

Thanks![/quote]

If you're with WISDOM, then your understanding is correct.  Eat as normal (i.e., within the practice's general guidelines) before the one-hour and fast for the three-hour (if you have to do it).[/quote]
