Glucose test

My GD test is coming up in the next few days and I’m feeling very anxious. Just super curious about the drink and worried I’m unable to keep it down. I heard it is super sweet. But what is the consistency of the drink like? Is it thick like syrup or is it thinner like water consistency but just sweet?

I guess you had the same question as me before my test - the consistency of the drink! I thought it is going to be like cough syrup (thick), but it turn out to be just super sweet water. It is not that bad to get it down, considering no water for 12 hours. You can do it and all the best!

Well done!!!

I was given the orange flavored ones so it Taste like F&N orange without the gas. But I find it extremely sweet, just finish it within the time given & don't vomit out or else have to come again & retake the test.
