I failed my first glucose test and did the 3 hour not long ago. It was terribly boring so bring a book or something to keep your mind occupied. I also think the drink for the 3 hour test was a little more sugary and thicker than the first. Over all it wasn't too bad. Could have been worse that's for sure.

The way I was told to do it was for 2 days before increase my carbs by 200mg a day then nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before you go. When you get there they will draw a fasting blood sugar then they will have you drink the gluocola. I did the orange and it just tasted like flat pop that had a ton of sugar in it. Then they draw your blood every hour for 3 hours after you drink it.

I had to do it and it wasn't to bad. They draw your blood 4 times, but the worst part is sitting there waiting to have KT drawn every hour. I passed mine though!
