Glucose tolerance test

that stinks :( i opted for the fresh test, so i got to take a little packet home and make the drink myself before the appointment. it wasn't the tastiest but it definitely didn't leave me the way it left you. they should def be telling people that there's different options

I haven’t taken it yet I’m only 19 weeks atm but it does sound like poison.
Is it something you can decline?

I got the fruit punch flavor and it has red 40 in it... lol like why are we expected to drink that I rather make my own sugar water

I had no issue with it. Blood glucose was 92 for me after 1h. And I don’t drink any soda ever. And it tasted like one to me. I also have GERD but had no issue after this. I heard from many people who didn’t end up passing the test that it was worse for them. Did you get the results yet?

They drew my blood but it may take some time to get the results.

Half an hour before taking the test, I had taken my prenatals with some water. Perhaps that added to the heartburn, hmm

With my first pregnancy I had the orange drink for both the 1hr and 3hr tests and I agree it left me with heartburn and nausea both times.
I'm thankful with this pregnancy I got the lemon-lime way better in my opinion and I passed the 1hr. I also was not required to fast for either 1hr tests, this time I ate cheesy scrambled eggs with a hint of onion powder.

Definitely ask your provider about doing the fresh test instead next time! Only a few clean ingredients and way easier on your system

If you were to check a lot of your snacks and drinks that are " healthy" , some of them have well over 50 mg or close to 50 mg of sugar. This is just to test if you are able to handle the sugar and not go into a state of hypo or hyperglycemia. You probably would normally ingest more than 50 mg of sugar on the daily, even if you're eating stuff like fruits and vegetables.

I drank the orange one too honestly it’s healthier than more sodas and other drinks, people can react differently to it

Why would you think it's poison? It's just sugar water? Seems a little dramatic.

I'm sorry you had a terrible experience. Did your test come back positive? Often the two are correlated

I just had mine today and the drink wasn’t even bad in my opinion. I felt fine after and had no adverse reactions..

I had mine yesterday and I didn't have to fast! I ate yogurt before. I drank the orange drink and felt sick for about 20 minutes after. then got my blood drawn and was starting to feel better. I had a sugar crash hard in the waiting area before the blood draw. sweaty, tired and nauseas. I passed!!
