From about 10pm at night so you miss your breakfast then have the test then you usually have to go back again about an hour later

If it's the glucose tolerance test I was told 12 hour fast - water only.

Also they told me to sit in the waiting room for the hour between tests as any exercise would skew the results - take a book :)

What do you mean between tests? I did a fasting blood test also? but I only took one blood test? I didn't have to wait and take another?
