3 Hour glucose test

I took off work on Friday & went to do my 3 hr glucose test. I arrived at 7am & couldn't eat or drink anything beforehand. They did my first blood draw & then I had to drink a bottle of that super syrupy drink again. For some reason, this one tasted a bit better than the other one. Maybe it had to do with the flavor?! I had orange this time. I did feel a bit sick about 10 minutes after drinking the glucose. My stomach started really hurting, I think it's because of all that sugar on an empty stomach. But it went away. Then they drew my blood every hr for 3 hrs. So I had a total of 4 blood draws. I guess the worst part was all the waiting around, but I just played Nintendo DS the whole time. I felt a bit tired after all this & was kinda hungry & thirsty but overall, I was fine. I will probably find out the results on Monday! Keep your fingers crossed!!!

I failed the 1 hour, but passed the 3 hour. It sucks that you have to have the test, but hopefully you'll pass!! Did you fast before the 1 hour test? I did, and my doctor said I should've only fasted for 2 hours hours and not overnight - and that might've thrown my numbers off. Good luck!!
