Mmmm no only no food and not even 12 hours
My hospital say the same except they allowed tiny sips of tap water only - not even bottled water was acceptable but they said that this was because people drank waters with added flavours or electrolytes etc so saying no water or tap only eliminates that risk x
No food from 10 pm onwards, the previous night.
No drinks means, (no tea, coffee, juice etc...) plain water you can drink, without any flavour. On the day of test, after giving 1st blood sample not allowed to drink water, until 2 nd blood sample. May take 1 sip, if you are extreme thirsty. This is what I remember.
However, that sugary drink which they will provide you to drink after 1st blood test is too sweet.
If you are still in doubt, please don't hesitate to call and check with them. Good luck xx.
Plain water was fine with mine and you could even drink water during the 2 hour wait, maybe it's different for each hospital trust. The letter said no water in the 2 hours but when I got there they said I could have water during those 2 hours and I had to have 2 GTT xx
I was told water was fine I had mine don't last week
