1 Hour Glucose Test in Afternoon

It seems like most posts about the 1 hour test seem to suggest that people are having it done in the morning.  My doctor told me today when I had my appointment that at my next appointment, I would have the glucose test done, that I should just come in and they would send me down to the lab to drink the stuff and sit for the hour after I had my appointment.  Then when I went to the scheduling lady to schedule my appointment, they scheduled it for 1:00 and she said that after the appointment seemed late to do the glucose test so I should come in before the appointment to get it done.  So I am assuming if I go in at about 11:30 that will give me enough time to drink the stuff and sit for an hour before the appointment.  Also, should I just have a regular breakfast that morning and then go in at 11:30 to do it.  It seems like most people do it early in the morning.  Sorry for all the questions and I am sure I will call my doctor just to double check all this, but I just basically wanted to see if anyone else had done the glucose test later and if so, did you alter what you ate all day?  Thanks.

  • Mine will be done in my OB's office and my appointment will be at 4PM. They told me I could eat normally just dont eat anything sugary.

  • Nothing super sugary for breakfast and don't eat after 9:30am if you are going to test at 11:30.
  • my doctors office gave me the stuff to drink already.  I have an appointment for 9 am in a few weeks.  I'm supposed to drink it 45 minutes before arriving and then they will draw my blood at the hour mark. 

     I was also told I couldn't eat or drink anything after midnight the night before.

    Its weird how dr.'s are all different with some of these things....
