What should I know for my OGTT test?
I have a diabetes test tomorrow morning at 8am, is there anything I should know or be aware of before and during this appointment? I’m confused on whether or not I’m allowed to eat or drink before it.

@Laurel thank you so much! x
It’s boring - take a book or something to keep you entertained x
I see your in ni, we have three blood draws instead of two. One fasting, one at an hour and another at 2 hours. No food or drink after 12, I wasn't even aloud sips of water. Best to bring someone with you. The drink is bareable, just make sure you drink it within 5 mins, it's normal if it makes you feel quite tired x

You need to fast from 10pm. You can sip water. Take a snack with you for after the 2 hour blood test. They will first test your fasting blood sugar and then you drink a glucose drink and wait two hours. They test you after two hours. After the two hour test you are free to eat and drink.
