I had the 3 hr one done and first they draw your blood that's the fasting sample then you drink the surgary drink and then they will test your blood every hour for three hours... Be prepared to stay there they won't let you leave bring a book or tablet hope that helps

3 hr test is the same. You drink it, they draw after 3 hours

I had three minutes to drink it, but yeah pretty much which she said ^ I brought it home with me. So the morning of I drank it went to my appointment let them know what time I had finished drinking it and an hour from that time they drew blood. They emailed me my results but they'll call you if they need you to come in to do the three hour or not

You have 5 minutes to drink this juice stuff and an hour later they draw blood and send it to the lab to get tested. When the results are in your doctor will let you know if you passed or failed.
