glucouse test

Its not really a question I haven't been on here in a while between work school n my two girls its been busy preparing for the new baby.. but today I went in to take the glucose test and these people looked at me like I'm crazy because my doctor had me eat jelly beans instead of drink that sugar drink they gave you.. has anyone else ever heard of jelly beans instead of that drink?

I just went for my 2 hour test... so ive had a double wammy of that yummy orange drink! yuck! i wish i could have jelly beans instead! :) because the 2 hour is a controlled fasting test i had to get blood drawn and tested before i could have the drink so that took 20 minutes and then another hour after the drink i had to go back and then another hour after that.... but im lucky i live in a small town and they dont make you stay the whole time :) and i got the good news today that my sugars were all in normal limits!!! yay!!

I go today for mine but it will probably be the juice. Lucky you that you get the candy.  I hated the hour wait. Not looking forward to it.

Yes I have heard of that. I dont think a lot of drs have that option but I have heard of it. Its practically the same thing I guess but I was only offered the drink. Dont worry its not weird.
