    There are tttwo tests. The Glucose Challenge which is the short one and the Glucose Tolerance Test which requires longer fasting. If you do the GTT you usually fast overnight and have the appt first thing

    Moglie - I'm not too sure if you can have coffee or not. I dont see it has a problem cause you arent having sugar in it, but this is coming from someone that has never done this before.

    Avoid any fruit for 24 hrs?! Ahhh, this is all that I brought to work today. LOL I think I might need to go up to the shops and buy some other stuff to buy, hopefully I will be able to stay away from the chocolate isle

    Can water be drunk during the fasting? My slip says no food, drinking or smoking.
