I was told to fast after midnight. I didn't do anything, even drink water, but I went first thing in the morning
Bring a book

Nothing after midnight.
Not water, not anything.

I would check with your doctor there is no reason you shouldnot be able to drink plain water - (non flavored or with lemon just plain) as you need to be hydrated so they can draw your blood - but you don't want to have juice or anything but plain water if you are fasting. Whenever you fast they always say plain water only.

I guess this is yet ANOTHER thing the doctors have different opinions on.
Mine said no water at all after midnight.
I wish they would all say the same thing!!!

Re: 3-hour glucose tolerance test tomorrow...
fast after midnight....I *think* you can have water.
Bring something to eat with you for when it's all over...you'll be SO hungry and you'll need the food.
