[quote=Anonymous][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]

Uh oh - this is going to be me. Thanks for posting this...  I was wondering about the 'eat a normal breakfast and anything you like before the test', but then thought alright I will...  and I ate a new cereal that seemed a bit sugary, then had the drink.... went for the test... and just saw that the cereal had 34 g carbs per serving, and I had a good serving at least.   Oh no!  I will probably fail that test!?  I mean is it even possible to pass it with that many carbs on board?   In that case, I should ask for a repeat 1 hr right??[/quote]
