I didn't dislike the drink itself (mine tasted like Hawaiian Punch), just how jittery it made me.

Yes, this.  The taste is not so bad; it's the feeling I get after I drink it that sucks.  Not just jittery, but nauseous as hell, man.  I think it doesn't help that I do have GD so my body was probably like wtf are you doing to me?!

It was the after taste that was the worst part.  I was so happy to pop a mint in my mouth after they drew the blood.

I did the test today. The drink, while not good, wasn't horrible (I had the orange flavor and it was cold). The test was horrible though. I fasted, I don't do well without food, so I felt bad at the first draw. I actually felt better after the drink except for the throat burning sensation. LO went nuts! The second draw was still okay, but by the third draw my blood pressure dropped, they had trouble getting blood out of me, and I felt dreadful. I had a horrible headache and felt really weak for the rest of the day. Thank God that's over!

Just had mine yesterday. It was a clear lemon-lime flavored one and just tasted like flat Sprite. Yes, it was sweeter than I would have liked, but it didn't make me sick or anything.
