Hello!
Question about your experiences. I did my test today, they didnt take my blood before I drank the sugar drink just after.
Also, they didnt know how to read their timers so at 1h 10min they thought I till had 10 min to wait. I explained it had been over an hour but they told me to wait. They came back and were confused cause now the timer said 25min meaning it had been 1h and 25 min. I explained this to her and she seemed to panic and take my blood very fast. I asked if it would skew the results and she didnt answer me.
I asked my friend who just had hers done and they told her if it was 5 minutes after the hour they would have to cancel and do it again. What was everyone else told? I feel like I wasted two hours and will have to do it again.

Re: Gestational diabetes test
needs to be drawn between the 55 minutes and 65 minutes mark (so 1 hr +/- 5 min) after you finish the drink. there is no pre drink draw for the 1 hour test
