Glucose test today

edited June 2011 in Pregnant
I have my glucose test today for gestational diabetes. A couple of people have told me the sugary liquid they make you drink is awful. Is it really that bad? Eeek! Not sure what's worse: the drink, the needle, or the 2-hour fast (lol)!

  • Is extremely sweet and tastes UGH!! .. but you will be ok
  • I heard someone here got to eat 13 jellybeans cause they couldn't keep the drink down or something. I plan on having jellybeans with me if they say ok to it! Lol
  • @caroline8_p jelly beans?! That's awesome! Hope it doesn't make me feel sick, though!
  • Its not that bad. It kind of tastes like really flat soda. You'll be fine.
  • In the Uk, they give lucozade to drink... not bad!!
  • It wasn't bad at all. Tasted like flat soda like @mrsSilver said. It was 105 degrees here, so when they handed me that cold drink, I chugged it no problem.

    Bad thing was that it gave me a sugar rush and I had to grab a snack before leaving bc I didn't want to drive home dizzy.
