Glucose test alternatives

Amanda

My glucose test will be coming up shortly and I’d like to take an alternative to the sugar drink. Orange juice, jelly beans, etc. My question is, how do I advocate this for myself? A friend with the save provider during her pregnancy declined it and they sent her to a diabetes class and made her track blood sugars for weeks. Even the diabetes class instructor was like ‘why are you here’. Should I try to have a conversation with my provider about it? Or should I just go to the lab, decline the drink, and bring my own alternative with me?
