Q for those who took the 3 hr Glucose test at a Quest lab...
I cannot seem to get anyone to pick up the phone! I'm wondering what the rules are re: fasting. If I am taking the test at 8Am how long should i fast for? What did they tell you to do? TIA

I fasted from 6 pm on. Only water. Also, they usually have a space for you where you can lie down and relax between readings.

I am taking it Saturday in Mineola. They usually pick up the phone.
I was told nothing for 10 hours before hand - only sips of plain water.
I was also told that if my test is at 8, get there 15 minutes before hand.

I took it today. I was told no eating anything for 10-12 hrs prior...just water.
Also - the Quest in Massapequa does NOT offer you a place to lie down...I wish they did!! I got so dizzy by the drink today!!

When I had to take mine, I went to the one in Setauket, off of Belle Mead Road. There was no where to lay down between readings. It was so hot in their waiting rooms I almost passed out. I had to sit in the back where it was cooler.

Thanks for the responses ladies I think it is so funny that everyone was told something different! I finally left a message since they NEVER pick up the phone and someone called me back this morning - they told me to fast from 11pm on - so another differest instruction to add to the list 
GOOD LUCK to everyone who is taking this week
