Had my 1-hour test this morning. The drink was cold and fruit punch flavored, so not that nasty, though I did have a sudden reaction about 40 minutes after drinking it with palpitations, dizziness and bad nausea, but luckily I managed to keep it down and felt better after about 5 minutes and after rinsing my face with a lot of water in the bathroom. Nurse said it was normal and it happens a lot, and that it can happen anytime from immediately after consumption up to about 3 hours in. They took my blood exactly an hour after I finished the drink (I had to drink it all in 5 minutes), and now I'm really hoping my results come back normal, don't know if I'd be able to stomach the 3-hour test with fasting knowing the reaction I had today. We will know in 1-2 days.
Also, with regards to fasting: they told me I didn't have to fast for the 1-hour test. So I had a normal sized breakfast (though a little less of what I normally have), which I ended up finishing about 1.5 hours before I had to drink the fluid. However I was kinda feeling empty stomached and kinda hungry by the time I walked into the OB's office for the test, so I wonder if I had already digested it.
Fingers crossed - I'll update you all when I hear back!
Found out the day after the test. Good luck to everyone still waiting to take theirs (1 hour or 3 hour) and to everyone awaiting results!got appointment at hospital next Wednesday

) and I eel OK now. I'm expecting to pass, I had it because my DS was classed as a large baby (only just) and I always have sugar in my urine, but that is normal for me in pregnancy
