Glucose Screening drink

Re: Glucose Screening drink

  • So, I drank the drink a little before 10, and then had my draw at 11.  I didn't feel much of anything during that hour, maybe a little funny in my head, but then about 4 hours after I just had this crazy episode of like a hot flash or something.  I started sweating profusely, and felt hot and clammy.  I hadn't gotten to eat yet (I had a scrambled egg about an hour before the test, but no lunch).  So, I ate lunch and am feeling better now.  Did this happen to anyone else, or does anyone have any idea what happened?  It was such an awful feeling.

  • Why do I have to start fasting at 10pm the night before, when other ladies get to have breakfast?  :((

    No fair! (okay, whine over)




  • Just drank my super cold fruit punch. Wasn't bad at all. I was expecting much worse.
  • Not sure hu

    Not sure, but same here. Each office has different instructions even including water intake. Good luck. I survived.
  • Mine tasted like a super sweet fruit punch. Not horrible. Failed the 1hr. Now sitting at the doctors doing my 3hr. I really hope I pass.
  • I did the orange drink. Not as bad as I was expecting. I used to work at a summer camp and it reminds me of the fake orange drink that we would give the kids at refreshment time. Great memories of college :)  Now to wait on results.

  • Bleh - Failed my one hour so I am going back Thursday for the 3 hour.  I know everyone seems to be getting different instructions on the night before.  I am told to eat a high carb dinner and nothing after midnight, they said high carb because they will test immediately whenever I arrive.  If my body has not been able to break down the carbs after that length of time then it will be an automatic fail :/
    I told myself that I wouldn't be worried because I can not have control over this - It's just my body but now I find myself worried. 
  • I had my test this morning. I had the orange flavor and honestly it tasted just fine. It was not bad at all, I was anticipating it to be terrible to drink based on what others have told me, but it just tasted like soda to me.
  • I just had mine. Waiting the hour wait still. The drink was orange flavored, tasted like a child's orange drink from McDonalds. Wasn't bad. Not what I expected though. 20 yrs ago with dd I remember a very small amount of
    a very flat cola. This time this cup was full.. Had to slam it.
