With my last pregnancy I fasted before I took the 1 hour GTT. I don't think my dr told me either way (whether to fast or not) so I did. This time the dr said I don't have to fast, but I was told not to eat real sugary stuff before (of course, I didn't need to be told that). Anyway, last time when I fasted I was all messed up the rest of the day from drinking that disgusting glucola stuff on an empty stomach. This time I want to eat, but I don't want to eat something that is going to make me fail the test. For breakfast I usually have tofu, 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with butter, and a tall glass of milk. Of course, I will be cutting out the milk, as I know that there is a good deal of sugar in it. I am not sure about the toast. This is bread that I make and it doesn't have alot of sweetner in it, but of course it has carbs. I thought the bread might still be a good idea as it has a good deal of fiber in it which will help keep the sugar from going into my blood stream too fast. So, what do you think? Keep the toast or skip it? If I skip it, I guess I should replace it with some more protein, perhaps cottage cheese? Thanks for any ideas!!
