Your test will take place on Level 4 of Kingston Hospital Main Outpatients (Corridor E, the Diabetes Day Unit).
Important
Do not eat after 10pm the night before your test. You can drink plain water.
If you usually take medication in the morning, do not take it on the morning of your test. Bring your medication with you to the test.
During the test
- We will ask you to lie on a bed while we insert a small plastic cannula (tube) into a vein in your arm. We will use this to take blood samples.
- After we collect the first blood sample, we will give you a glucose drink.
- We will take more blood samples at 30, 60 and 120 minutes, after you have finished the drink.
- When we have collected all the blood samples, we will remove the cannula and the test will be complete.
