Glucose Test Q

[~Debbie~]

WOW! How'd you handle that? I think my stomach would have eatten itself up. I think maybe you had to fast for so long because you had the longer test?? I am not too sure but I think I read somewhere that there is one test that goes for an hour and there is another, if you fail the first one, that goes for longer? Not too sure tho! How long did the test take for you?

I had to fast after 8pm, and was in at the pathology (SJOG) at 8.30 the next morning. It wasnt that bad, as still had dinner and everything.
But, they take bloods, give you your drink, then bloods again 1 hour later, and then again 1 hour after that - so 2 hours waiting. And, was told you have to wait at the pathology, not allowed to go anywhere - so, a long 2 hours.

Obs didnt mention anything to me about having the 1hour test - didnt really know that was an option. I wonder if it was my weight, or just the way he operates.

Hi mum to be, you had the full glucose test, which is what I now have to go back for. Apparently that one is more accurate. Let's hope my sugars are all okay by tomorrow. Hope your test results are favourable.

Do you think I could have a coffee today? I am going for my test tomorrow. I dont take sugar either.
