Gestational diabetes test

I had my glucose test today but they didn’t offer me the drink? They just took my bloods. My appointment was literally in and out for one round of bloods. I asked about the drink and told the midwife I was expecting to be here for 2hrs and she said we haven’t done that since Covid… Anyone else experienced this? 😖
