Hey! I just wanted to get on here and let y’all know I did my glucose test and the drink was not bad at all. I heard such horror stories and I never really heard any “good” stories lol. I drank the fruit punch flavored dextrose and it was very palatable! I also did not have any side effects- not saying this will happen for everyone, but just a little reassurance that it might not be so bad :)

Same here. I had the orange one and it wasn’t terrible. Wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever drank but not the worst. Was able to function just fine afterwards to as well.

Agree- I went fruit punch as well and it was fine

Honestly?! I’ve heard that it was gross and thick. I got the lime one and it tasted like off brand sprite with no carbonation. It wasn’t thick either. The only side affect was my daughter moving for a straight hour because of the sugar. 😂

I just had my orange drink it wasnt bad at all..in fact i loved it. It tasted just like sunkist. Dr gave me 5 mins to drink i finished the drink in 2 minutes

So grateful for this post!! I was getting paranoid after all the horror stories, mine comes up on April 4💕

yeah it really wasn’t bad! I wanted the lemon lime because I read how awful all the other flavors were, but my OBs office ran out of all the flavors except the fruit punch lol.

I totally agree I didn’t mind it at all. Tasted like orange Gatorade. I was expecting the worst drink in the entire world according to everyone’s dramatic posts about it 😂

right? I was prepared for the worst, but I really didn’t mind it at all!

I was able to drink orange juice for my glucose test instead of the drink! Should be an option if you don’t want the original!

completely agree!

That test has gotten so much better ladies lol. My 1st kid was 17 years ago and it was a thick fruity nasty drink. Now it seems to be more tolerable and tastes better. I usually get the orange flavor cold lol.
