I would recommend you have some snacks with you that you can devour afterwards. Yes, you just end up drinking the flat soda and get your blood checked several times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-hour-glucose-test#post-42643 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:35:09 +0000 heffalump 42643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, you have to drink the gross drink again. And then every hour they'll take your blood. So you just sit there and do a lot of waiting. I also suggest you bring some food for when it's over, you'll be starving and won't want to wait. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-hour-glucose-test#post-42636 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:28:58 +0000 keiki_mama 42636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went in for my glucose test yesterday and my nurse called this morning to tell me I failed the darn thing. I've scheduled my three hour test for next week but I was wondering what goes on at the three hour test? All I was told was to not eat after midnight before the test. Will I have to drink another bottle of flat soda? Do I get an IV? What goes on at these tests? I've read from old threads to bring a book so I will definitely be doing that. Did any of you feel sick during/after the test? </p>
