I had it done last week. But my set of bloods taken after the orange drink was done 1hr and 40 mins later not 2 full hrs. Will this affect it? The nurse just seemed in a rush....

I don't think it will effect your results they wouldn't do them at 1hr 40mins if they did I wouldn't think.. If concerned ask your midwife about it x

Yes it will affect the result - it will be slightly higher than it would be at 2hrs because your body has had less time to process it.
If you get a raised result (or borderline) I would suggest it is repeated properly before you get the label of gestational diabetic.
The test protocol is there for a reason.
