I had strawberry and it was disgusting but I swallowed really fast so I didn't have to stay at the doctors office too long

Orange is good. If you fail the one hour, the 3 hour is worse because you have to fast before doing it. They'll also probably tell you that you can only have a little bit of water after you drink the glucose. Hope everything goes well for you!!

The orange tastes like extra sweet orange drink from McDonald's (the kind at every kids' sporting events)

Ask for a straw...it's easier to get down that way. I've had orange and lemon lime. Now the standard is orange. You will feel a little sick and really hungry. The one hour isn't too awful.

It's just juice lol I had the orange flavor and it was pretty good. They draw blood then have you drink it in 5 minutes then wait an hour and after the hour they draw more blood and that's all
