Can anyone help? It's the 3 hour full GTT. Starts at 9am. When do I fast from? Can I drink water? And do I need to do anything else to prepare?

12 hours before the test hun :)

I accidentally only left about 11/10 hours and they said that would be fine

Agree with above posters. Do Not take you dh with you who insists on eating a full breakfast while you are fasting Angry

I hope mine is like that Twitchy but they said 3 hours, 3 tests, 3 drinks. I wanted the normal mini-test but consultant insisted on full despite me having a totally normal BMI, no symptoms and no history in my last two pregnancies. It all seems to be because DD2 was over 10lbs.

Mine was fast from 9pm except sips of water for a 9am arrival. Hope it goes ok.
