Diabetes test tomorrow any tips?
I got my diabetes test tomorrow 9am and I'm a little nervous I don't know how I'm going to feel I've read people feeling sicky and also lately if I leave it too long to eat I feel dizzy and I don't want to feel like that I'm having a banana now before 12am. I can drink as much water as I want? Also the wait seems soo long lol

The sugary drink is just like a calpol texture and taste, if your body is used to drinking fizzy drinks or drinks with a high sugar content you might find this abit on the easy side, I’ve only ever drank water my entire life so I took 5 sips and was sick but honestly you’ll be fine x
@Shannon oh wow yeah I should be ok
I'm waiting now glad I got here earlier as there was 6 before me

Wake up as late as possible so you don’t feel too hungry and they’re usually good at getting your first blood test done around 9am ish. Then the sugary drink doesn’t taste the nicest but I just necked it down in one to get it over with it wasn’t too bad. I found that The sugary drink actually puts you on a bit so you’re not too hungry and you can always drink plenty of water throughout. Tips: Drink water before your first blood test to help the nurses as it helps with blood flow to get the amount that they need. Bring entertainment with you because it is a long wait. like a book, last time I brought some knitting and almost finished knitting a baby hat in the space of time I had to kill.
