He got results back and he was way over the limit. he is naturaly worried. However we just realised that he drank the lucozade over the whole hour. what i mean is that he only drank the last of it a few mins before going in to get it rechecked.
From what little i know the test is to see how well you body can get rid of the sugers or something and that the lucozade should be drank in about 5 mins and have the test redone an hour after that.

Would this significantly alter the results or is that just wishfull thinking?

thanks in advance
