Glucose test

Hi

Can anyone who has had to do the diabetes glucose test tell me how long/ how many hours It roughly lasts.

I am trying to work out timings for an event I have to go to after the appointment.

Many thanks in advance xx

Depending how efficient your trust is, it shouldn't take more than 2.5 hours hopefully. You get your blood taken as soon as you go in, an hour after you drink the drink and 2 hours after you drink the drink. I was in for nearly 4 as they had issues taking blood. I know some trusts can be quite slow so you could be waiting 30+ minutes to be called for your first draw.

Hey! I did mine over summer and it took around 3 hours total. I was there at 9:30 and left around 12:30-13:00. ☺️

Got my bloods taken at 9, then immediately after drank the drink (9:15), bloods taken an hour after (10:15) and then waited another hour and more bloods taken (11:30), although timing wasn’t very precise
