Can you help me understand if it's okay to drink water before getting a non-fasting blood sugar test? I'm also wondering if it's necessary to wait a full 2 hours, or is an hour and a half sufficient before getting it checked?

For a non-fasting blood sugar test, you can drink water, but avoid eating anything for at least 1-2 hours before the test; however, if you've had a meal, waiting for 2 hours is ideal, but 1.5 hours may also be acceptable, consult with your healthcare provider or lab technician for specific guidance.
