Glucose Test

Has anyone had the GTT at Colchester Hospital recently? I didn’t have it done in my last pregnancy but have been put in for one this time. A little bit nervous about the whole process, particularly the drink as I’ve heard it can be horrible

I had it last year and was completely fine! No sickness just boring to sit there a few hours!!

I had it last year, it's just a bit boring 🤣 so bring something to pass the time. You can walk around the grounds as long as your back after the 2 hours. As for the drink I thought it taste ok and was really easy to just down

Thanks ladies, my husband is going to come with me to help with boredom

The taste really isn’t awful, just abit sickly when you first drink it. It is boring though, I’ve had to have twice in this pregnancy

I had mine in 23 as my girl was born in 24 . Was absolutely fine, go in and have a blood test, you have the drink and sit for a few hours ( take book / music / iPad) then do another blood test then you go home

I had mine there last week and it was absolutely fine! The drink is quite thick (a bit like a syrup) but the taste isn’t awful, just super sweet. You can either down it or drink over a 5min period..I chose to just drink it in one go to get it over and done with!
