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.
Re: 1 Hour Glucose Test in Afternoon
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.
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....
