You got to fast the night before your blood test. Doc will draw blood 3 times. Once is for baseline, then they will give you a glucose drink. You are supposed to finish it. 2hrs later, they will draw a 2nd tube of blood. You will ask to rest for the next 2 hrs. No food or drinks to be taken. After which, 3rd tube of blood will be drawn.
