What Are The Preparation Before Going Through A Glucose Challenge Test?

I am having a glucose challenge test (1 hour) in a few days and I want to do my best to avoid getting a false positive. I am planning on going on Saturday morning . . . any time will work. Should I eat breakfast? If so, what should I eat? How far in advance should I eat it?
