Unofficial Glucose Screening Survey?

Question

I had my one hour glucose screening last Friday, and just like with my first pregnancy, I actually liked the orange syrupy drink. I haven't gotten the results back yet, but with my 1st pregnancy, the results were inconclusive, and I had to take the 3 hour test. I ended up not having gestational diabetes, and everything was fine.

One of my friends (who also liked the orange syrup) also ended up having to take the 3 hour test, and I can not remember if she ended up having gestational diabetes or not. She did have a theory that anyone who likes the orange syrup has something wrong with them, and will end up having to take the longer test.

I want to put her theory to the test, so here is my question: How many of you liked the sugary drink they gave you (not all of them are orange from what I've been told) and how many of you had to take the 3 hour test?

Answer 1

i actually liked it... it didn't taste as bad as everyone said it would... i took the one hour test and results came back good in less then 30mins..  

Answer 2

I took the glucola test twice, and the orange drink wasn't all that bad.  I guess you can say I liked it.  I have not had to take the three hour test, but the last glucola test I took was Tuesday of this week,so I haven't had time to hear back from doc on the second one.

Answer 3

I didn't like it and there was no need to take 3 hour test!

Answer 4

ha-ha that's kinda funny i actually really did like the orange drink i craved it that night and made my hubby buy me orange soda... And yes a few days later i got a call saying i failed my one hour and has to go back for the three hour... However the drink with three hour is not good it was still orange but had double the amount of sugar and actually made me nausea's. And yes i too also passed the three hour and did not have gestational diabetes.

Answer 5

Interesting question!

Yes, I liked the first drink.  I ended up having to take the three hour test as well.  That drink was twice as sweet and I didn't like it much at all, and ended up passing my three hour.

Both were orange-flavored.

Answer 6

I didn't mind the drink...kinda liked it. Had to take the 3 hour test. Everything is fine though!

I'm interested to see the results.

Answer 7

Answer 8

I'm still waiting for my results, but I LOVED the drink. It tasted like orange pop, so we'll see lol  

Answer 9

I liked the orange drink, my test was normal. I had it done about a month ago. I didn't have to take the 3 hour test.
