Glucose screening test

Hi girls! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Quick question...I have to go for my glucose screening test today and I called the doctors office and they told me to drink the orange fun drink on my way down there and record the start and finish time. Do you remember how much you had to drink? My doctor just joined a different group and they gave me a bottle to drink and it seems like so much whereas with DD I just was given a glass of it when I got to the doctor.  Also I forgot to ask does it matter if I go this morning or in the afternoon. They told me to come in anytime after 9 a.m. and then I hung up and forgot to ask. I guess I can call back but just forgetting all this even though it was not too long ago. Of course I woke up with a sore throat and DD is a little under the weather so this should be fun today.

Re: Glucose screening test

  • Drink the whole bottle (use a straw, it'll be easier). I hope it's cold as it tastes better that way. You need to drink it then get to the lab within the hour (my doc office says get to the lab with at least 15 minutes left to spare, my appointment is at 9 so I'll drink the bottle at 8:15 and get there by 9). If you're late, you'll have to come back and do the test again.

     

    Best bet would be to do it in the morning if you have the time as you cannot eat after you drink the orange crap. 

  • Mine was the size of a small water bottle.  It wasn't too bad.  It tasted like melted popsicle.  Ditto to PP advice of using a straw and drinking it very cold!

  • Mine was in a bottle, but maybe 4-6 oz?  It wasn't much.
