A member asked:
I failed my first gestational diabetes screen test, and then ate really well for a week before my three drink test and passed that one (though one of my numbers was just over) - is it possible my result was wrong? can you cheat by eating well before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Eating properly 2 weeks before the test is the standard but rarely are patients given or carry out these instructions. You might want to go to uptodate.com and read how to do it right. Cost is $20 for 1 week access. Lots of very good info about pre diabetes and preg induced glucose intolerance. Read and discuss with your team. What did the instructions from the lab tell you to do?
