Glucose Drink

[ubba82]

I had my GTT today and couldnt believe how nice the drink was!! So much better than the green one I remember - this one I had today tasted just like lemonade. I was so thirsty after having fasted since the night before I could have drank 3 ottles of the stuff

Anyone not like the drink or have a bad reaction?

ubba, im like you. i LOVED the drink! and yes it tasted exactly like lemonade

Unfortunately for me i ended up having GD - but still i enjoyed the drink and loved it again when i had to do my repeat test after DD was 6 weeks - i am a very sweet tooth person tho!

Nup! I thought it was disgusting! I'm not a huge fan of sugar myself, & to me it was pretty much just a straight sugar syrup. I had to force it in & hold it in...wasn't fun!

I didnt mind it but have to say I had a bad reaction afterwards, when I got home I was dizzie and feeling sick! havent had that b4 but I dont have GD so that is good

Yep I loved it! I was expecting a terrible gross drink, and it was lovely to me hehe

Did get the sugar rush, dizziness and a bit sick, afterwards though. No gd here either

I loved the drink and ended up craving it for the rest of my pregnancy. Lemonaid just wouldn't cure the craving.

Well, that drink that I so loved has given me a glucose reading of 7.9 grrrr. Normal range being 4-8.

Bugger Do you have to do the 2 hr GCT now?

The midwife didnt say I needed to, just that I cant have any sugar or refined foods - and I was really looking forward to going to the pancake parlour for my birthday on Saturday night....
