My gtt is scheduled next week and im honestly so nervous about it. I keep hearing the drink is horrible and I dont want my sugar to come high. Any tips on how to prepare for it? what did u all do before the test?
Honestly just do it properly, dont overload on sugar the day before and follow the fasting time. The glucose drink is yucky, sip it as told. If your sugar comes high, the doctor just guides your diet, it's manageable, not scary.
My doc said dont try to cheat it, just follow prep properly, fast as told (usually overnight), and dont binge on sweets the night before. Eat balanced meals in the days before. The test is for your benefit, so an accurate result is what you actually want.
I'll be honest, it's not really about 'passing', it's to catch sugar issues for your n baby's safety. Dont starve or trick the test, that defeats the point. Just eat normally in the days before, follow the fasting instructions, and let the result be real. I had GD and managing it kept us both fine.
I have mine coming up and I'm nervous too. From what mommies told me, dont stress, just eat normal in the days before, fast as instructed and finish the drink. Anyone got tips for not feeling sick after that sweet drink? It scares me a little.
