is seriously the most disgusting thing ever! I had so much trouble drinking it all since it was SOOOO sweet. It really made me feel like vomiting. And when I was drinking it, I asked the lab tech if the drink was the same for the 3 hr test (in case I failed the 1 hr) and she said no - it's 2x as sweet. UGH!
Re: That orange drink (gluclose tolerance test)
Yeah, the fruit punch is better if your lab has it, and cold is the way to go. They always try to give it to me in a styrofoam cup and I just chug it out of the bottle. I hate drinking anything out of styrofoam.
I'm not looking forward to this at all... I've got mine at my next appt.
GL.. I hope you pass!
I agree that the first bit wasn't bad, but it just got worse and worse with each sip. I know some people don't mind it though. Hopefully those of you who haven't done it yet like it more than I did!
Some places do. I had a choice between orange, "sprite", cola and fruit punch flavor. For the 3 hour though I think they only had orange flavor.

Do you have the drink at the doctor's office and wait around there until your test? I got to take it home and piddle around the house until it was time for my test. Plus, I got to make my drink ice cold (I had the orange as well) and it was pretty good to me lol
