can you drink diet soda before a blood fasting test

Do not eat nothing before u get their and the soda is not that bad just taste like diet orange soda or grape

t get sick or lightheaded and it wasnt as gross as everyone made it sound. Baby got really active like if you drink juice or a soda. Best of luck.

"Can anxiety increase sugar level temporarily." Yes, in some people. Your fasting 5.9 mmol/l and your 5.5% HbA1c are just over normal. You can lower these by paying careful attention to your carbohydrate intake [breads, crackers, white rice]. Eat smaller portions. Also your diary intake such as yogurt and milk, some have added sugars.

s fruit punch, VERYYY sugary, and then an hour later they draw your blood, that was about it for me! If you fail it, then you may have to do a second test, good luck!!

yesss gracious... just woke up so hungry & thirsty today..

t do it if you ate before so its best to go early in the morning and it takes 1 hour they give you a sweet drink tastes like flat soda and then they have you wait an hour and after the hour they draw your blood A's your set to go

That is not entirely accurate. What you describe can take up to 3 days (72 hours) to start to occur and is very dependent upon health and stress factors. As far as fasted training goes, the muscle break down that occurs can be relatively easy to overcome under normal circumstances but there is also the option of supplementing with Branch Chain Amino Acids just prior to fasted training and during longer training sessions to prevent it all together.

The way I was told to do it was for 2 days before increase my carbs by 200mg a day then nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before you go. When you get there they will draw a fasting blood sugar then they will have you drink the gluocola. I did the orange and it just tasted like flat pop that had a ton of sugar in it. Then they draw your blood every hour for 3 hours after you drink it.

I remembered right before the test thinking it is almost a fasting test for the TSH T3 T4 draw so will be interesting to see how it compares to other TSH draws. I see my primary doc on Tues .. they'll redo the blood ... what do you think .. is 1-2 cookies 3 hrs before the test enough to mess up the end-result? I hope so. I am not in the mood to deal with this on top of my thyroid. C~ TSH 1.

t eat anything until they do the last step which is to draw your blood if you eat before you drink that juice you will have to sit there for 3 extra hrs till your stomach is completely empy then they let you drink it trust me i made that mistake but never again lol

For the past couple of weeks she has been peeing her pants. We saw the doctor a few days ago and they did a urine test and a blood surgar test. She had not eaten in 5 hrs (lunch then nap and the long drive to the dr). Her sugar was 125 and her ped was concerned and said it needs to watched for two weeks and then return or sooner if I feel the need. We started to log what she drinks during the day, an average of 70 oz and she only weights 28lbs.

The labs here have the drink for you, they give you 5 minutes to drink it, then you have to sit quietly for an hour before they will do the blood test. I think you have to drink the stuff there too, not at home...they want to make sure you drink it in their time limit.

ve been checking my blood sugar, it was at 122 on fasting, then went up to 206 2hrs after a meal of mash potatoes, pork chop, bread and a soda [something a normal person would eat and be ok], that same day, a couple of hours later it was still high, at 144. Is that something to worry about?

You can east and drink normally before the one hour test, mind the sugar intake of course. You may be able to balance out any sugar you've had with some protein like eggs. I had scrambled eggs and orange juice before mine and passed.

Agreed you should definitely do the test to make sure you do not develope gd so that if you have you can keep it under control through diet and exercise ect.

You can't eat or drink until after the test is over. You only drink the nasty crap they give you at the lab.

According to my doctor, both, pre-diabetes and type II diabetes are reversed if you can maintain normal blood glucose levels, via diet and exercise, without medication.

Yep. They're making you drink what's basically straight sugar that raises your levels way quick. It's like chugging a two liter of soda in less than 10 minutes.... who WOULDN'T get nauseous?

Again, I sould seek more information. They are telling you your blood sugar is normal but giving you Metformin?? That doesn't make sense. You said you had the OGTT 2 hour test and it was "high but not diabetic". Were you diagnosed pre-diabetic. Again the A1C, not the OGTT or a fasting blood sugar is what gives you a diagnosis. I would ask for more information. You haven't even been told what you are being treated for!

yes most woman pass the test and all is good but they test you because there is a chance you can have it and a lg baby is just one of the risks... look into it... for my 1 hour test with my last pregnancy i ate before(here your allowed) and failed and so i didnt eat before for this pregnancy and failed the test again.... i passed the second tests each time...but because you did fail... even just a tiny bit you still need to know for sure....

You can drink water that just it. I swear mine is this morning. I a had dreams all night of food and giant cups of cola.

Yeah my doc gave me the drink at my last visit so I could put it in the fridge. Just drink it fast :) I think you have 5 min to do it. I did it in 2 lol. I would call to see if you could eat or not. Fasting s ucks! It's really not bad.

Yes you can eat and drink the same day of the test. If you are taking an oral test they would like you not to eat 20 mins before the test. They don't want food on the swab.

If you react to those warning signs by switching to a low carbohydrate diet, you can keep the blood glucose levels pretty much normal by diet only even though you may be technically called a Type 2 diabetic. I'm walking proof. Less than one year ago, I stuck a fasting BG of 161. Today I regularly stick a fasting reading in the mid 80's with no medication. Make no mistake! I'm still a T2, and will always be.

to avoid prolonged fasting. When you arrive for the test, the nurse will draw your blood and collect a urine sample. She will then give you a 100 gm glucose solution. She will record the time and return to collect blood and urine samples at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours for a total of 5 blood and urine samples. You will not be able to eat or drink anything except for water throughout the duration of the test.

Its perfectly dine to have a glass of soda. But you should definitely limit your diet drinks.

He suggested to exercise and control the diet. Day before the test had a pasta lunch with cola and small pasta fried fish dinner with 2 drinks(alcoholic). dinner complete at 9.00pm. Also had a antidepressant for sleep. Went the next morning for test around 8.am. Is it possible for my test to be wrong given the previous days gluttony. thanks in advance and awaiting your reply.
