I've tried three different pathologists phone and websites trying to find out if I need to book for a glucose test (because it runs over a couple of hours) and so far - I can't get through to a human, I can't find anything on the websites, I am getting conflicting information about whether a couple of them even exist anymore. WTF? I guess I just walk in and take my chances on the day?

If you are in the area try Dorevitch in Prahran Central Shopping Centre (they are inside Prahran Market Clinic) I see them regularly and they are absolutely brilliant with getting tests organised.

Not my area but thanks! I usually go to the local Dorevitch centre - I will probably just wander down there and ask I think

Most places you don't need to book for a glucose test. You will need to take a book though, because you're not allowed to do anything in between tests.

Most pathology tests you just walk in, you don't need to book an appointment. But that's my experience with blood tests, not a glucose test. Have you tried contacting dorevitch pathology? They tend to be alright
