I'm Currently Feeling:  | Just had my glucose test..
the drink wasn't that bad, but the 1 hr wait was. UGH.
Hopefully the results come back fine tomorrow so I don't have to go through the 2 hr one. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I love the drink 
The wait does suck, I didn't bring anyone or anything last time with my son, so this time I was prepared! I brought a romance novel muahaha.
Hope your results come back normal and you don't have to go back hon!  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | the drink is just a known amount of sugar-50 g. you drink it and your blood is taken after one hour just to see how your body is processing the sugar.done from 24-18 weeks, sometimes earlier if there are any concerns. |

You drink this really sweet orangey drink, wait an hour, then they do a blood test to see where your sugar levels are at to rule out gestational diabetes. They have to wait the hour to see how your body is metabolizing the sugar. |
