Glucose Tolerance Test

I have to have one tomorrow morning. (further testing for possible PCOS) I'm so pathetic. I keep reading how gross it is. Is it really that bad?

What's your current eating plan? Not sure if you LC or not, but I've read that you should be eating at least 150 carbs (don't quote me on that number) for about 3 days prior to testing.

I didn't think it was that bad. I also watched a woman in there taking it for gestational diabetes screening and she knocked it back without flinching. Are you going to LabCorp?? I think they have two flavor options; orange and fruit punch. I'd go with the punch. It's pretty concentrated but it was palatable IMO. The amount of liquid was a little less than a can of Coke so chugging it didn't take long. I wouldn't recommend sipping it though.

Hey, I ended up sleeping in so I have to go back another day. lol I haven't been watching what I eat lately, so the carbs are there even though I should be watching what I'm eating.

No, my doctors office does it in their office, but sends everything to Labcorp for testing. So, I'll be going to my dr office. I wonder if they get it from there. She told me it was called "Glucola" I dont know if thats what they are all called or thats what I'm getting. She said it was a cola type drink that was sweeter so I dont know if I will get orange or fruit punch. We'll see. I wish I could just eat something instead lol

i can't believe I made such a big deal out of this . I finally went in today after putting it off. It certainly wasnt anything I'd drink all the time. but it was tolerable. I chose Orange.
