Avatar f tn Did the drink they give you for your one hour glucose test made anyone else feel really weird. The drink went down good I like the taste everything then I started getting really bad heart burn, my legs started feeling very heavy / tingly and my face went numb (like when you have drankntoo much alcohal) then after the test I felt really dizzy. And when I got home I threw up just wondering if anyone else had a negative reaction to the drink??
10221785 tn?1410990458 Mine want bad at all but I went for the hr test and was able to eat. But the drink just made my tummy burn. I was told if I pukedo would have to start over.
Avatar f tn Everyone I have talked to made the glucose test sound so bad .. Is it really that bad ? What flavors did you ladies go with and what was the outcome ? Do they give you something to drink with it?
11088727 tn?1419827634 Ok so I took the glucose test yesterday and every since I have drunk that drink I have been having heat flashes and ive gotten a head ache today and havent been able to walk as much as I did before without having to take a break. Is this normal?
1209036 tn?1299178657 A blood sample will be taken from a vein in your arm about 60 minutes after drinking the solution. The blood test measures how the glucose solution was metabolized (processed by the body). A blood glucose of 140mg/dL will identify 80% of women with gestational diabetes. When that cutoff is lowered to 130mg/dL the yield increases to 90%.
Avatar f tn Youll have to fast 8 hours prior to when you plan on going in. Once you get there they will take 2 vials of blood and hand you a drink which will be the glucose. You'll have 5 minutes to drink the whole bottle once you start. Then you'll wait an hour and finally take one more vial of blood then youll be all set to leave.
293845 tn?1227997530 It is a test for gestational diabetes. I don't know about false positives because it will actual give your glucose level. The drink is interesting. It's tastes like the syrup they put in pop (soda) without the carbonation. They usually refridgerate it so it's nice and cold. You have to drink it within 10-15 minutes and then they'll draw your blood an hour later!
Avatar f tn It was pretty simple , I went there fasting although I was just not suppose to eat or drink anything for four hours .
4046749 tn?1357103996 It's only if you fail the 1st hour test ... They will then tell u that u need to take the 3 hour test .. That's when u can't eat or drink anything after midnight the night before then during your 3 hour visit they will give u the drink and that's all u can have until the test is over .
2075937 tn?1334884194 i cant imagine what this drink is going to do to me. but i was told not to eat or drink anything within the hour before the test during the hour i have to wait, i will have an ultrasound, my rhogam shot and then i will have my blood taken.
Avatar f tn I have my glucose test in a few weeks and myidwife said I have to fast as from 8pm the night before and that im only allowed to drink water
7988724 tn?1400967191 Had to do that yucky drink for the diabetic test. Mine was some flat sprite tasting syrupy drink. Yuck yuck yuck!
7094011 tn?1405455886 I have my glucose test tomorrow and I am super nervous! I LOVE my sweets, and espically being pregnant that's all I crave is sweets! However the receptionist at my OB office gave me my drink and gave me instructions to eat a normal breakfast, drink the drink 30 minutes before my appointment. When I've talked to so e other people they have said eating before you go could potentially make you fail the test.
Avatar f tn The drink itself was ok, I had fruit punch nd my obgyn let me take it home a month before I had to do it so I let it sit in the fridge nd by the time I had to drink it it was nice nd cold. Now the test for me this time was horrible bc I failed nd had to go back for the 3-hour test, which was the worst. Not being able to eat for 10-12 hours before taking the test nd then drinking the drink, which the second time around had more sugar in it, I was dizzy, light headed, nauseous nd starving.....
Avatar f tn I had the orange drink, it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.. towards the end of the cup it was a little harder to swallow..
Avatar f tn I was given a drink to take while I was still at home/work. Only had to fast for the last hour. Over the course of 5 mins, drink all of it 1hr before my appointment. The actual test at the office was just a finger prick and didn't take any extra time than a normal appointment. Sounds like there are a few different versions of the test out there, so it would probably be best to ask your dr office. I'm surprised some people have to wait the in the actual dr office! How inconvenient!
4565938 tn?1357880653 You have to go 4 hours withouut eating, go to the place that does them, drink a sugar drink (orange or cherry) within 5 minutes, then wait an hour. They take a few voles of blood, and you get your results at your next prenatal visit.
Avatar f tn It is literally the hours, you drink this sugary drink and the test your sugar every hour for three hours to see how your body reacts. You can't leave the doctors office either, so I'd bring something to do. It is allot of sugar in the drink and it can actually make you throw up but if you do you have to come back and take it again, and you can't drink or easy during the test. So bring books or a laptop because it is allot of waiting.
Avatar f tn I think it's just really sugary. They asked if I wanted orange or fruit punch so I went with orange. My mom said the colder the easier it is to drink! But literally everyone told me it's so gross! I have to go at 9am so I'm just gonna take it right at 830 and not eat anything!
Avatar f tn Next month i take the glucose test with the sugary drink i heard its nasty and a horrible experience what happens how does it go and what did you guya experience please tell me !! Im a ftm !!
Avatar f tn I got my drink a few weeks before the test I was told to take it 20 min before my appt so when I seen the dr I wouldn't have to wait for the hour to go by I was told not to eat or drink because it messes with your sugar level and you would have to retake it anyway my sugar levels can back normal it was a 97 a normal level is around 100 so I was very lucky even tho I crave sugar all the time!
Avatar f tn d take the test again if they asked me too lol its like drinking an unfrozen otter pop or the juice that comes in the little plastic jugs with the tin lid just drink it as fast as u can big gulps and don't think about it I think they gave me 8 mind to drink my drink
Avatar f tn But when I went in to the lab to get it done I had just been awake for maybe an hour and only had water to drink and the Lady didnt want to do the test. I had to call my doctor and he told her to lol.
Avatar f tn Yes you have to take it when pregnant:/ and it can make you sick^ i was gonna throw up when i took mine last week.
Avatar f tn I came for my glucose test and the lady just told me to drink the drink and that to come back an hour later, when I finished the drink I went outside and came back inside half an hour later and she tells me I can't leave I have to be inside the waiting room during the whole hour so I'm confused? She never told me I had to stay inside during the whole time.
Avatar n tn They recommend not eating about 2 hours before if it is the 1 hour test. You have to fast if its the 3 hour. They make you drink this surgery drink in 5 min. Then you just hang out for an hour til they pull a couple vials of blood. With the test I found out I was anemic, so they check that too. I didn't have a urine test.
Avatar f tn They draw your blood, you drink the solution, wait 30 minutes, and draw your blood again. Needle is only in your arm for 30 seconds each time.
