Gestational Diabetes Fasting

I am due my glucose test tomorrow but never received a letter from the NHS telling me how long to fast for. If my appointment is at 8.15 do I fast from 8pm or 10pm? Conflicting info online. Thank you!! ☺️

There was an info sheet in my notes so check there! I had my test today at 8am and I wasn’t allowed any food or water from midnight last night! Bit of advice: They told me to get something to eat before I left the hospital but the nearest cafe was really far away and I live fairly close so I drove home, got back and put my toast on as I started sorting the washing I came over all dizzy, I almost fainted I was sweating and could barely stand! I was in the house by myself and I had to force sugary food into myself! It was awful! I then had to lie down and fell asleep for half an hour I have felt so drained for the rest of the day! I would 100% take some biscuits 🍪 with you and don’t think you are ok like I did don’t let yourself diet to the point of feeling so bad! Xx

Such conflicting information from different nhs trusts 🙈 but thank you all for the advice. I'll air on the side of caution. Really not looking forward to this drink on an empty stomach 🤦🏻‍♀️ x
