Glucose test

Mine went okay. Fasted after 10pm previous night. Had sips of water when needed.. Morning went okay. First sample at 9:30. I was asked to drink the orange juice flavoured drink in one go.. which was not bad. I hate sugary beverages but it was okay. I did not vomit. Gave post-prandial at 11:30 and went to get a sub after.. nothing negative about the experience.

I fasted from 10pm, it wasn't at all bad for me, yes I was starving after and went straight to get food if you're nervous maybe take a bar of chocolate or snack with you for as soon as it's done. Overall mine was probably better than I expected, the drink isn't as bad as what people say! I have my 2nd glucose test in 2 weeks x

Had mine last week and it was fine. Make sure you drink water, but nothing else. Don’t let yourself get dehydrated though. Try to have a late meal the night before too, I ate about 8pm which is late for me and I think it helped. I asked to lay down to have my blood tests done as can get a bit light headed and they were fine about it. I think it helped. My drink wasn’t really orange - it was like water with a thick syrup in it. Not delicious but I’ve drank much worse. It’s not loads either, maybe about 1/3 pint. So easily gone in one or two big swigs. I actually quite liked the waiting around, I’d downloaded a couple of episodes or MAFs to catch up on and the time went quickly. Hope it goes ok for you tomrorow and fingers crossed for the results! Xx

It’s honestly fine. I sculled mine in seconds and the pathologist was like whoooo you ok. Yup all good let’s do this. All came back fine x you got this 💪💪

Honestly do not worry about it! The drink was fine- very drinkable. The worst part is not being able to eat. But like others have said drink plenty of water and maybe take something to occupy yourself while you wait x

I ate late and drank plenty of water which helped. They’ve changed the recipe for the drink! Way better this time around and my results were on the badger app the next day 😀

Mine was absolutley fine, had dinner at normal time the night before, had first bloods at 9.30 and then two hour wait sipping water and read my book 😃 had a cereal bar afterwards on my way home (10 min walk) then made a banging lunch 🤣 you'll be fine 🫶

I have mine coming up on the 15th April and I’m so glad I’ve read thru these comments 😭 I’ve been for previous appointments and seen women look so unwell and I knew it was the glucose test bc they have sick bowls and a pouch drink so it worries me but it sounds like it isn’t so bad, it just depends how the person handles it, all the best 💖💖

Thanks everyone, just got out and it was absolutely fine. My drink was a lemon/lime sort of water, but tasted fine. I'm really surprised I didn't feel sick or lightheaded at any point. The only problem I had was my vein wouldn't stop bleeding after the test. So all that worry for nothing x
