THE GESTATIONAL DIABETIC
The best chance you have of passing the test is to eat a healthy diet throughout pregnancy.
The test is a discovery of whether or not your body produces enough insulin to maintain blood sugars.
Managing high blood sugars with only dietary changes and exercise is ideal, but it's not always the best option.
Early testing takes place if you have: had gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy or family history of diabetes.
The purpose of the test is to see how blood sugar reacts to pure glucose. This is why it's important to eat 2-3 hours before the test.
Eating what you would normally eat for that time of day is the best option.
