alternative to glucose drink

crosas15 · January 2016

I managed to convince my midwife to let me take the jelly beans instead of the glucose she told me 28 jelly beans in 5 mins however I've read online people do 18 brach brand in 2 mins did anyone do the 18?what was the outcome of your results?

My mom did jelly beans with us and her dr said she needed to eat whatever the actual jelly bean brand was. Have you had problems with the glucola in the past? I really didn't think it was that bad and I'd definitely rather do that then the jelly beans especially if you can't wash them down!

I don't get the jelly bean test... The glucola for the 1-hour has 50 grams of sugar but from the Jelly Belly nutrition info, 35 jellybeans only have 28g of sugar. You'd have to eat nearly 70 jellybeans for the 1 hour and 125 jellybeans for the 3 hour to get the same sugar content as the glucola!

To me the food coloring in the brachs would be a worse alternative than just drinking the glucola. Out of curiosity what is your reasoning for wanting to swap? If it was solely for the 'natural' jelly beans I could see that but one artificial chemical for another is sort of an even trade imo.

Didn't do jelly beans but did chocolate milk with DS2 and juice with ds3. Glucola makes me so sick.

I puked up the drink. I was given the option to take my blood sugar x4 a day. Maybe you could ask just to monitor your blood sugar?

Nothing helpful to add, but now I really want jelly beans...

What kind of juice and how many ounces?

My midwife is having me eat a prescribed breakfast before the test... 8oz oj, milk, eggs, and toast with butter.

I believe it was a Naked juice, the green one. It was 50g worth of sugar.

My midwife has me drinking 8 oz of welchs juice, which has 50 grams of sugar just like glucola. She also instructed me to eat protein before hand.
