tolerance test (GTT). It is usually advised to take the test early morning as metabolism falls in afternoon due to diurnal rhythm. My problem is that I have an upside routine
in the evening. Can I take my GTT in evening, I assume that my biological clock is now set according to my sleep cycle? OR will it effect the result of my GTT?
Thanks

I took my test in the afternoon. My dr said as long as you fast for 3 hours prior to the test it is ok. i didnt want to go in in the morning b/c I am way to hungry!! Did they tell you how long to fast?
How long is this test? I am 25 weeks,I have to go for glucose test next week. My doctor said it's 1 hour test and there is no need to fast. If you are asked to fast for 8 hours it's better you go for the test first thing in the morning. Otherwise since you sleep the whole day, you will be fasting for 8 hours and test can be done in the evening. Good luck!
