diabetes test

[NyarahsMommy6415]

When I hit my 26th week this Thursday My OB set me up for a diabetes test. I really don't wanna go because I heard about the juice or soda they make you drink before taking the actual test..  Any advice on how I can get the drink down or is it really nasty?

I tho k it's,different for every one mine was lemon lime so it didn't have to much flavor the only hArd part was drinking it in t minutes but I did not,have to fast before my test I wS just not,suppose, to eat sugar

The test itself isn't bad at all.. you'll be just fine. I failed the one hour and two hour so I have to be on a strict diet which *****! No more caving into my cravings or sweet tooth. But its temporary and I'll do whatever to have a healthy baby. Dont worry its not that bad (:

I had a orange drink, it wasn't that bad going down but while I was waiting the hour before they could draw blood it sat and festered in my stomach, it made me a bit nauseous, but once it was done I went home and had water and I was fine.

I just did mine today, i didnt have to fast, and honestly the drink isnt bad at all. Its a real sweet drink nothing bad.

Guess I'm greedy. I like it. Lol. Its definitely sweet. True about not eating before. With the 3hr one, they made me collect 24hrs of urine and got a needle. I'll drink the orange stuff any day over a needle. My doc let me take my drink home and I made it cold. It's a lot easier cold.

It doesn't taste bad at all. Get the orange if you can and refrigerate it. As long as it's cold it tastes like juice.

I agree they make it seem soooo bad n its really not I took it down on one gulp, well the yucky medicine nose cover thing I did too, mostly make sure u fast although they tell u, u don't have to u should I didn't n didnt past had to do the 3 hour one n that drink was way sweeter n worse when u can't eat for 3 hours n nothing but sugar in you stomach,so fast no food after 12 n go in early from that time, but don't worry bout the drink.

Its not that bad what everyone makes it out to be lol I mean yeah its not what I want to drink with a meal or as a treat but it's not revolting it is drinkable.

I did mine today...I ended up getting orange and its just a very sweet juice. I only needed to drink 5oz within 10 min and I just took a couple big drinks and done.... Wasn't bad at all...it reminds me if those kid jug juices lol or kid bug juices lol idk if you've heard if those but very sweet kid drinks. You'll be fine :-)

It's not that bad. Tastes like flat pop. They have a few flavors to chose from. I did the orange flavored one and it just tasted like flat fanta. Just don't eat anything after 8 the night before because I did and failed but fasted with the 3 hour and passed. And believe me you don't want to do the 3 hour. Good luck!
