I remember distinctly what I ate, as I was STILL having morning sickness and

only carbs worked for me.I had a piece of bagel. They didn't specify what I

had to eat either.

I had the GD with my last two pgs so I felt I needed the test. When I had my

glucose test done I brought the bottle home and was reading it and it said it

was carbonated and since I have absolutely stayed away from any carbonation I

called the drs office and told them I couldnt drink the syrup because of that

reason and she called back and had me do the " jellybean " test. I had to eat 18

Brachs brand jellybeans just like the liquid, 1 hr before my appt and within 15

mins start to finish. Unfortunately I can tolerate sugar just fine so the

jellybeans were not a problem for me. I am 33 wks today and have gained 4 lbs

this pregnancy.

Re: alternatives to glucose test?

Hey ,

i'm 1 year post op and 31 weeks pregnant...i took the glucose test a

few weeks ago, my doctor had me fast overnight then drink orange

juice...as long as it has 50 grams of sugars..so i wound up drinking

two juice boxes that were 26grams of sugar each...it's better than

glucola, but you can still get nauseated because you have to drink it

pretty fast, it worked for me...it may for you as well...ask your OB

to check with the lab to ok it.....good luck to you.....Meko
