How can I pass a gestational diabetes test?

Is there anything you can do to make yourself pass the gestational diabetes test? Can it even be prevented or if you have it do you just have it? I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour with my first. I am not supposed to fast for the 1 hour. Any ideas on what to eat beforehand?

Do not eat anything and fast! But it’s not preventable, I fasted and still failed with my third

please follow the directions you have been given and dont fast. Trying to change the result of the test by not doing it properly could let to problems for the child you are carrying. If you get diabetes its best you know so that you can prevent unknowingly harming your baby

Nothing. I had it with 3rd now again with 6th. Just gotta do the fast and hope for best. I knew I’d failed during test I felt ill. Then got call day after as I’ve other complications.
I’m looking at the positives I’ll see more of my baby though would anyway with choliostasis and be here early.

I had it as well. Weather I fast or eat I would fail. Even eating the blocks method as the doctor suggested I’d still fail. Then a life couch explain that stress and anxiety plays a vital roll in the test as well. So try and be relaxed and calm before taking the test.
