Tips for 1 hr glucose test?

Question

I have my 1 hr test in a couple hours and wanted to know any tips? I don’t have to fast so it shouldn’t be too bad. They have me the “lemon-lime flavor” which is supposed to taste like really sweet sprite. 🤞🏻

Answer

Don’t worry! A lot of people tell horror stories about it, and honestly, it wasn’t bad at all.  Before I went, I had two scrambled eggs and water. I was given the lemon lime, and to me, it tasted like lemonade! I was surprised when they said I had to drink it all in 5 minutes, so be prepared for that. I honestly just chugged it lol. I passed. You’ll do great! :)

Answer

Made it through the test but was feeling light headed and then threw up all over the parking lot🤢 doctor says this can happen cause you get a sugar high and then crash.

Answer

If you fail by less than ten points, ask to take the one hour again instead of just obeying and taking the three hour. The three hour SUCKS

Answer

Mine was today. Not bad at all. All the horror stories on here had me in a full-blown panic today. My appointment wasn't til 2:40 but my doctor doesn't require fasting. I had cheese toast and bacon for breakfast, and some broccoli with cheese sauce and bacon right before my appointment. The fruit punch flavor wasn't bad at all. Drank it in about 2 minutes and felt totally fine. Haven't felt bad at all. Hoping I pass! 🤞

Answer

I had a plain egg before my test and passed!

Answer

Mine is tomorrow!!! i’m very curious about the drink but will have it at home on ice

Answer

Its not as bad as people make it seem. I drank water before i took it and i was fine

Answer

I’m in the uk and had mine this morning including the drink ! I was there for around 2 hours 3 sets of bloods and the drink honestly tasted like a kids orange juice drink !

Answer

It's not bad, just make sure you eat before the test. Nothing sweet, just oatmeal, or eggs and toast, something like that. And bring something to do lol

Answer

It really isn’t bad. The waiting part is bad. My
OB office only does a 2 hour test. They draw my blood after one hour then again at two hours. I wish I could have had coffee, but other than that, it’s not horrible.
