gtt test with jello beans for gastric bypass patients

How anyone taking this test with jello beans instead of the glucose drink?I'm 25 wk  and have to take the 1 hour gtt.

Nope, would have dumped and test wouldn't be accurate since I don't absorb sugars the same anymore. I did the Post-Paradinal Test. All evidence I have seen and heard shows its more accurate for RNY patients.

Good luck with your test. Hope you pass with flying colors.

A RNY patient cannot do a glucose tolerance test.  Your OB should know this.  My first pregnancy and this one too I will do what is called a preprandial and postprandial lab draw.  Basically - you have a fasting blood sugar lab draw and then you go eat a meal - you have another lab draw 2 hours after your meal.  This is very accurate.  A GTT has about 50g sugars - that is a total no no.

I wouldnt suggest doing it...I was reading the paper yesterday at my OB office (for the lab 2 hour test 100grams of sugar, and the 1 hour has 50 or 75 grams) there is NO WAY.  The jelly beans is a great solution for someone that would barf up the liquid, not for someone who can't process sugar correctly.  Ugh..Dr's!  I kept a blood sugar log...but the fasting and after meal test should be a great (simple) solution.  I do a week of BS because my Diabetes has been in remission since WLS..but I am at a huge risk for reoccurance because of my weight (thats per me and knowing my body!).

my doctor told me to eat 18 jello beans and in a hour have the test done, i  have read and heard you get the same result. with the oral solution stuff i can't tolerance that and i'm 4 yrs out.
