Eat a sensible breakfast & don't fast unless the doctor specifically told you to. Eggs are pretty safe, go with protein. I ate cottage cheese and passed no problems.

My 1 hour at 16 weeks I ate an hour before I drank the Glucola, then had my blood drawn an hour after that and it was good.

My 1 hour at 30 weeks I didn't anything, drank the Glucola, then had my blood drawn an hour later and BOMBED it.

My 3 hour one I passed with flying colors and that one you HAVE to fast for.

My test was scheduled for 2:30 in the afternoon so, like a PP said, I just ate a sensible breakfast. No doughnuts or anything like that.

If your Dr didn't tell you to fast there is no reason to. You should be able to eat anything you want, outside of going on a sugar binge. If your body is possessing sugar correctly, which is what is being tested, anything you eat should not make you fail the test.

I was not told to fast. I ate lunch a few hours before, but I also had a snack. That was not a good idea. I failed the first one, but passed the 3 hour test. The lab tech said she wished the dr. would tell the patients to fast b/c it would be helpful. Just try to stay off carbs before the test and you should be fine.

I didn't plan on taking the test that day, so for breakfast (about an hour before the test) I had an apple and a biscuit with butter and honey.  Changed my mind and decided to take it because my MW thought it would be fine and I passed with a score of 69.   If I had been planning to take it I would have eaten more of a high protein breakfast, but oh well :)

The slip my clinic sent home says eat protein at a light meal a few hours before. Stay away from sugars and absolutely no rice. Which means my gluten free foods are mostly out of the question anyways. So I am sticking to eggs and some milk.

do not drink eggnog the morning of the test (also had three eggs with tapatio that morning).  i failed the one hour and now i'm convinced that's why.  passed the three hour with flying colors after fasting.

My OB told me that while the test says you can eat, if you do it will always skew the results.  I decided this morning that I wanted a cup of coffee more than I wanted to go get the test, so I blew it off! LOL

I'll go on Monday.

I fasted and failed.  Then I passed the 3 hour by flying colors.  So obviously I shouldn't have fasted for the one hour!

Mine was at 11:30 the day after thanksgiving. Eat something high in protein. Try to minimize your carbs, and avoid sugars. Then you should be fine. I had scrambled eggs and mine worked out fine.
