Glucose Tolerance Test Vlog

[@mylifepostpain3705]

I’m a phlebotomist and I give glucose tolerance tests to women here in the uk all the time. In the UK you absolutely have to fast otherwise they won’t do the test. And our tests take two hours as well.

"it was like I little snack", bahahaha! That's too cute

You said it tasted like flat orange soda and that’s funny because my mom had the lemon lime one and said “it just tasted like flat sprite. Not that bad. I like flat sprite when I don’t feel well” 🤣🤣

[@siberry5536]

Yeah that drink really isn't that bad. I feel like people play it up but when your pg and haven't eaten almost anything is good and counts as a snack. Lol

Took a two hour test. drink wasn’t bad, it was just overly sweet. Nearly fainted and had to lay down, but didn’t throw up so that was good. Dr always just does the two hour test so the patient doesn’t have to do the test again because it sucks for some!

I did 2 hr glucose testing. The drink wasn't bad but it did burn my throat. Got stuck 3-4 times. Failed the fasting part of the test but past the other parts. Was not fun staying that long.

My drink was lemon lime! Honestly wasn’t as bad as I was expecting other than they made me chug it on the spot

Oh man, they gave me this test after miscarrying one pregnancy to see if it was caused by diabetes and at week 10 of the next pregnancy. It was so rough. The first time I was suffering from the sugar, the second time it was the sugar plus the nausea. The second time I immediately started two types of insulin afterwards. Blech!

Not that bad? I guess you are much more used to sugary drinks than me, because that drink is horrible. Its so horrible, that I cannot finish it and keep it down. I am so thankful I have a doctor that allows me to do a week of normal glucose testing at home instead. More importantly...I think I recognize where you are!!!

It should never be forced. Unfortunately many low income mothers don't have a choice for any alternatives.

Love the positive vibes!

Mine was orange flavor, it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Took me a few minutes to get through just because I had a small stomach before pregnancy and I'm not good at chugging lol.

[@elizabethwolf8656]

I had a 3hr test to rule out blood sugar contributing to my migraines and I nearly threw up the glucose drink

[@Syllvur]

I had the lemon lime one and downed in 20 seconds 😂

[@daisyzamora2308]

its really not that bad

[@Nicoliolioli]

this test ruined fruit punch for me for the rest of my life.

[@Kensington555]

Fruit punch in my opinion tastes better than the orange and it tastes like the Hi-C juice boxes lol! I refrigerated my bottle, that also is alright to do and it helps the flavor. ☺️
