Glucose test

Following

I drank it slowly and it was fine. It's doesn't taste bad when drinking. It's more the after taste that's a bit grim. I had raspberry.

I didn’t think the drink tasted that bad. It’s basically flat lucozade. I’d advise sipping it slowly though

I think chugging it makes u feel worse afterwards. I think u should take all the time they give you

i’ve not had one yet, i managed to get away with a blood test and at home monitoring last time due to covid and lockdown. for those that have had it can you drink water as well, so like a sip of the drink and then water to wash it down or does that defeat the point😂

My midwife said it was optional and because I don’t have any history of diabetes it wasn’t necessary for me so I ditched it

You have to drink it within 5 mins of being given the drink. I’ve done it twice. It’s better to take lots of small sips.

Dont down it, drink it within the time frame they give you

You have a full 5 minutes to drink it. My nurse said do NOT chug it, even if I go a minute or so over time it’s no big deal. I finished it in 5:45 and still felt a little nauseous

I didn’t find it that bad, I drank mine within about 5 mins and just sat for the 2 hours and watched a movie. It just tastes like a flat lucozade that’s a bit thick. I was told it needed to be done within 10/15 mins of first drinking it. Think it’s easy to be influenced by horror story’s but i genuinely didn’t mind it x

I also felt fine afterward but did hear some other people saying they felt sick but they went for a walk afterwards, I literally just stayed put and I think that’s what helped x

It’s really not that bad. Just a sweet juice.

You can opt for 2 weeks of self testing if you want but that means you have to monitor your blood 4x a day for 2 straight weeks. i did this cause my nausea is out of control and i failed it first pregnancy anyways

I downed it last pregnancy and actually thought it was quite nice, it was a raspberry one 😂 I didn’t feel nauseous at all 😊
