Has anybody ever done the glucose test in a lab? How different is it?
Has anybody ever done the glucose test in a lab? How different is it?
I have a diff obgyn this time around the first time I did the testing in the ob office. I know it’s nothing to worry about but I like knowing what to expect. I barely remember anything about the test too (from 3+ yrs ago)
We have to fast after midnight until the appointment, right? Is that drinks (including water) and food?

My appointment is on Monday at 9! And I have to drive an hour there 🙄. Hopefully someone will watch my son for me, because they don’t want kids there. Not that they don’t want them there, they wrote a note that said “take proper precautions, children must be watched at all times” or something like that 😬

I always had to do it at the hospital. No fasting for the one hour test. You only have to fast for the 3 hour one if you fail the one hour.
Added. *you fast during the test, but before the test you don’t have to. Sorry if that was confusing.

I’ve always done it at a lab, they give you the drink you have 5 min to drink it then you have to sit around for an hour not much different then if you’d do it in the ob office I think. I’ve never had to fast tho.
