A member asked:
Glucose screening test for pregnancy coming up. will my relatively low carb diet (eating mainly whole grains) make me fail the test? do i need to carb load b4 the tests (both the 1hr and 3hr one). my a1c levels were 5.2 in 1st trimester. very nervous?

It is not failing or passing the test. Stay on your usual diet and do not stress out about this matter. With and A1c of 5.2 you are unlikely to have an abnormal test result. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
