Appointment is at 10, so they told me to drink it at 9:15.
It's in the fridge cooling as I type!
Good luck!

Re: 1 hour glucose
My friend told me to watch my sugar intake during the day before I go for the test.

I read the bottle and it recommends chilling it beforehand to make it go down easier.
I think i have the lemon-lime. I didn't get to choose though...they just handed me the bottle.

Re: 1 hour glucose
I had the lemon-lime too. It's not bad at all. It tastes like flat Sprite. Mine was warm though, so that was a little gross. Good luck!!!

Re: 1 hour glucose
I had the orange which tasted like flat orange soda.
Had 5 minutes to drink 10 oz.
Make sure you bring water for after and drink LOTs of water all day. I crashed and burned SO hard the day after from the sugar rush.

Re: 1 hour glucose
If I drink it at home and then drive there, can I drink any water on the drive over? Or do I have to wait until after they draw blood?

Re: 1 hour glucose
The drink isn't that bad - it's just the fact that you drink it so fast. I would also bring a bagel or something with you - so that way you can eat it right after you are done.
I was so hungry I had the shakes.
Try keeping yourself busy - I paid bills but that only lasted a few minutes and the book I was reading sucked so that didn't help the time pass.
Good luck!!!

I'm confused...if I drink it at home and then go to the doctor, won't I go right in to get the blood taken? Do I have to sit there and wait for the results in the office?

OOOH - see I didn't get to drink it at home. I had to go there - get blood taken - and then drink the drink - then get blood taken again. I would much rather do it your way!

You can't have water til after the draw your blood.
Definately chill it if you can. I didn't have the option not to drink it at Quest. Plus when i asked if I could leave, they said no, I had to sit there for the entire hour (then 3 hours!)
Don't eat anything in the morning, I was told I could and then I think that is why I got a less than optimal number.
It isn't that bad, really

ditto, & drink water BEFORE the test if your Dr lets you, since you cannot drink it during the one hour wait.
