glucose test fail.

[spookshowangellovesit]

i just ate my dinner but i have my glucose test tomorrow at nine. you are suppose to fast for 12 hours...is this hard and fast rule. can i swing it or do i have to re book. grrrrrrrrrr 10 hrs 12 hrs is it a big deal?

Hmm, I had my GTT a few weeks back and am sure it wasn't 12 hrs, perhaps different surgeries have different timings? I've thrown my info sheet away but just checked my calendar and for mine, the first blood test appt was 9.40 and then I had to drink the lucozade and back again at 11.40 for the 2nd blood test. I've got in my phone that I should've stopped eating by midnight (I'm anal and have alarms for EVERYTHING!) and that would have been to ensure I didn't go within the time period they wanted so for my GP surgery was probably 8-10hrs.
Is it the glucose test where you drink lucozade that you're having or the one where you eat something? Perhaps they have different rules.

As long as you only have water from now, it should be fine.

12 hours no food is hard even when you're not pregnant. You will still be plenty starved enough.

yeah it is prob the longest time poss so it is prob fine. yeah is the drinking glucose drinking 2 hrs one, two blood test one.

Well good luck for the results. My poor DH had to suffer my evil mood that day whilst I was starved for it. Then afterwards was so tired from being awake since 6am and not having anything to eat till midday (due to the timing of my tests) but couldn't sleep because of the bloody lucozade (I'd kept off all energy drinks and caffeine throughout the pregnancy).
Thankfully test came back negative, not even borderline, was well chuffed!
