I have my glucose test coming up next week and im kind of nervous about it. should i be fasting, can i eat anything the night before? pls tell me how u prepared, just want to do it right.
I booked it for early morning so I didnt have to fast through work. Plan for it to take 2 to 3 hours sitting at the lab, so carry your phone and something to read. And keep a snack ready to eat right after.
My gynac told me to fast for around 8 hours before, usually they do it in the morning. They take fasting blood first, then the sugary drink, then more samples after 1 and 2 hours. Follow exactly what your lab instructs, it varies slightly.
For my GTT they asked me to fast overnight, then take the glucose drink and sit for the blood draws over a couple hours. Dont eat or drink anything except water during the wait. Carry a snack for after, since u'll feel hungry once its done.
