Just to add on, Glucose test will be easier if you are fond of sweets - cos Lord! It's like drinking a quarter of a honey bottle straight up! (Ugh I can still remember how I begged for a gallon of water that day!) For that diagnostic test, you'll be asked to fast overnight. Your blood will be drawn in the morning, and then you'll drink a higher-concentration glucose mixture. This is what the glucose concentrate looks like - the one given to me during the test.
