best snacks to pack for after glucose test?

Question

I have the dreaded long glucose test next week (not sure why my doc requested this one without first doing the short one)

I loathe super sweet stuff so this already sounds awful, but afterwards I have to get home and work the rest of the day. What snacks work best to pack with me so I can get my energy levels up again after such a long fasting period and all that sugar?

Answer

Literally just had mine done , The drink they gave me tasted like fanta with a sweet aftertaste , wasnt bad at all , had my regular breakfast after which was waffles , eggs and bacon

Answer

I had it and the drink really wasn't as bad as people make out. Just down it in one. I took a banana for after and was absolutely fine. To me it really wasn't a big deal

Answer

I had a egg sandwich right after and felt fine!

Answer

I crashed HARD after my glucose test was done.  Different people react different ways. The best thing you can eat is protein! Also drink lots of water as well! Good luck!

Answer

Almonds and lots of water helped me! Brought those with me and began snacking as soon as my last blood draw was done. Good luck!

Answer

Protein of any kind to balance all the sugar they gave you. Avoid carbs and sugary snacks

I didn't pack any so while I was grocery shopping I had to rip open a box of poptarts and eat a package then drink a soda cause my sugar dropped to low.

Answer

Clif bar/Luna bar

Answer
