Success after IF

Tell me about your 1 hour Glucose test

I have mine tomorrow morning.  I have the stuff to drink at home before hand.

So what happens during the appt?  I assume they take blood. What else?  Urine?  Okay so once they get what they need-blood, urine- do I have to sit around and wait for the hour?  Is that why it's called the 1 hour test?

  • No, I just had to take the drink at home and then drive to the lab and give blood.  Didn't have to wait...But you have to arrive at the lab or place they draw your blood and let them know EXACTLY when you started drinking the horrible drink. (should be exactly 1 hr later0

    I had a regular dr. appt afterwards, but just by coincidence.

    Results were 1 or 2 days later...

  • Ditto what JGirl said. Drink the drink as quick as you can. It's tolerable while chilled. No urine is involved, just one prick at the end of the hour. You do sit around waiting though, so bring a book, laptop... whatever to keep you company :)

    Good luck!

  • I must admit i was a bit nauseated afterwards waiting for the blood test.  Definitely bring something to distract yourself!  Drinking the stuff down wasn't bad as I thought it would be.
