Would you still go? It was literally half a spoonful and I wouldn't be there for two hours afterwards

No, I’d cancel.

Based on my previous experience they'll tell you you can't do it now. I was told black sugar free coffee was ok, it wasnt.

Cancel. Will affect you insulin response.

If you're fasting for lipids then go. The blood test looks at a three month picture.
If it's for sugar, it should be a hba1c anyway which is non fasting. Another three month picture.
I'd go.
Practice nurse.

If for a glucose tolerance test (rarely done now though tbh), then yes, cancel.

re-book the test, OP. Good luck.

Thanks so much for your response. Wish I'd seen it in time! It's an investigation about why I'm sick all the time. Actually no idea what it's testing
