Oral Glucose Tolerance Test - Help!!

Question

Im having my OGTT tomorrow morning. Im fasting from 6pm today though they told me to fast only from midnight. Apart from fasting anything else I need to do? What should I expect tmrw? I mean if someone could explain on the OGTT procedure and expected result, it would be good help. If my results come abnormal will I be retested trmw itself or will I be given medicine to control it? Sorry for so many questions. #1stimemom here 🙂

Better eat before midnight. Youll be there for 2 whole hours and no eating is allowed, only sips of water. And youll be super duper hungry and thirsty.Your 1st blood will be taken then youll be given this super sweet orange drink and have to drink within 5 mins (10 mins for other hospital maybe but 5 mins for me). I was lucky that I was given ice cold. If you vomit, you have to re-take the test.1 hr later, another tube of blood will be taken. Then another in an hr later + youll see gynae too (in between the test). They will call you within days if the result is not good. No calls means youre fine.
