Well, I drank the Glucola. It didn't taste as bad as I thought it would. But, it immediately gave me a headache. Then, while I waited the required hour, I started to feel uncomfortable and the waiting room quickly felt hot to me. Out of nowhere, I lost control...and everything came up! Yuck! Now, I have to go back tomorrow and try again. Joy!
Seems that some women, like me, have a negative reaction to the drink.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better, since they asked me to now fast before the test. I think, for me, eating food 1 hour before the test, only aggravated my stomach.
Re: Gestational diabetes test: Volcanic Explosion!
I know!! But, I chose to do it again so quickly so that I can get this test done sooner rather than later. I think I'll be okay tomorrow since I can't eat after midnight. I'll keep you all posted!!
Honestly, I almost did the same thing. I was drinking it like a champ, since they want you to drink it within 5 minutes, then I got an unpleasant feeling in my stomach and thought "whoa, I better take a minute to rest". My OB said one of those little bottles has as much sugar as 2 20oz Cokes and you drink it all in 5 minutes. No wonder you want to throw up.
