Glucose

Out of curiosity (because I'm sitting suffering through the glucose challenge test), does anyone know how much glucose is in a 600ml bottle of soft drink (on average) compared to the amount of glucose in the challenge test? Which is 75% in what looked like a 250ml bottle.

63.6g of carbohydrates in a 600mL bottle of coke (about 10% carbohydrate).

Was it 75% glucose, or 75g glucose in the bottle? I know my test (2hr fasting GTT) I had a drink with 100g (I think it was 100g), and it was around 300mL. I think the glucose drink for the GCT is 75g in 250 or maybe 300mL.

I'm pretty sure it's 75g to 250ml :-) I look at them everyday and should know but never pay to much attention to it lol

It said 75% but could have been 100mlmaking it 75g. Was about the same size as those super small soft drink bottles.

just thinking about the drink makes me gag.
sorry no help MG.

ot but what colour is your drink? mine was green.

I'm not sure ill have to check it at work. Though I do know in some places you only have to drink 3 quarters of the drink because it gives the same effect.

It could have been a small 140-150mL bottle with 100g? Which I think would be roughly 75%-ish. I've not heard of a glucose test drink with over 100g of glucose, but take that with a grain of salt as I'm not actually in the medical or pathology profession lol.

M2SCs - my drink was a light green/yellowy colour, and it isn't too bad in taste but I had to drink it twice (two tests) in my first pregnancy and it made me feel ill so I have that association with it and I can't even think about it without feeling icky.

It was green.

I'm just curious about the amount of glucose compared to a drink of regular soft drink. I'm weird

That test would be insanely better if you could drink coke instead!

A large fries and a double cheeseburger has about as much carbs as the drink, I'd love to be able to eat that for the test ROFL!

I wouldnt mind going everyday if it was coke, esp since during pregnancy i had to cut out coke ....... yummmmmm coke

Sorry, I was just trying to compare the two out of curiosity. Just a weird passing thought in my mind as I sat there trying not to be sick.
