for any ftm... glucose test

It isn't as bad as people say it is!! I got through it without vomiting! I recommend the orange favor, if thats a choice they have for you.

I had the orange for the 1hr, tasted like flat syrupy orange soda to me. Gross! Made me feel a bit nauseous.  Fruit punch for the 3hr and it was actually pretty good. Started to get a bit nauseous around hour #2. Failed both and like @chefblu on a low Carb diet and check blood four times daily.

It's weird but I loved mine. I chugged it down and the staff looked at me like I was crazy. Lol I had the orange flavor and it was ice cold.

I thought it just tasted like orange soda with a little more sugar. I had to not eat for 12 hours so I ate dinner the night before and just went to the doctor as early as I could. It didn't make me gag or anything but I did get really gittery and so did the baby lol.

I was throwing up and had the chills and shakes for two days after doing mine... but I passed and I also ate before mine bc I wasn't expecting to get it bc it was an emergency appointment. I had the flat sprite one... it was nasty after three gulps.
