I'm taking the gestational diabetes test today for my baby and I wasn't allowed to eat anything for 12 hours before the test and I can't eat anything until after they've taken blood 3 times in 3 hours, so I won't get to eat a thing until 1:30 this afternoon! That's 16 hours without food and I'm starving already! Seriously, if i nibble a couple Ritz crackers, will that mess up the test results? I can't take it anymore!

Yes, you're not supposed to eat anything at all because food will affect your blood sugar level.
I know it stinks. I got so hungry and weak and ill feeling the morning of my test because of going without food that long. I had a snack in my purse, though, that I scarfed down as soon as the test was done!
It is just something you have to go through, unfortunately. Hang in there!

It sound like they may be doing a 3 hour glucose tolerance test, and they will give you some sugary drink when you get there, which will make you feel a little better for an hour or two, and usually places will give you some juice or something when it's over, but take a snack in your purse also. If you eat now it could mess up the test results. Anything with sugar or carbohydrates will raise your blood sugar. You are really supposed to be fasting. Something that's nearly pure protein, like a bite of turkey might be able to sneak through. But if they find out you ate they might reschedule the test, so try and hold out.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

I know it's hard but don't eat anything. Carbs especially will throw off the results and could make your sugar high. Try to keep busy to keep your mind off your hunger. Try and fill up on water and plan a nice lunch for yourself after the test!
Hang in there!
