glucose test

If you throw up the drink they give you after you drink it can they still give you an accurate test? Just curious I go in tomorrow to have the test.

I've never done this test, I'm 17wks & had sugar in my pee so they sent me for blood work "glucose reading" but I never drank anything, I go today to see if I have diabetes, unless they are trapping me & I'll be drinking something today lol they never said anything

@babyboy111... well if you fail both then that means u have diabetes.... but its normal for pregnant women and they will put u on a strict diet.... and most likely u will have to be on insilyn... (I think thats how u spell it).... but ur baby could be born with it I think only if u dont follow the diet... thank GOD I passed the 2nd time.... have u raken yours??

I had to do the 3 hour test, its the same amount of drink as the 1 hour test. They will reschedule u if u throw up, at least that is what I was told. The drink isn't that bad, kinda like really sweet kool aid. I unfortunately couldn't keep anything down for 3 months so as soon as the 1 hour was up I threw up everything. If u can handle sweet juice I think u can keep it down unless u havent been keeping anything down.
