 I just researched it and for all of you tha****ch your sugars there is 100GRAMS!!!!!!!! of sugar in this tiny little drink. NO way in hell am I taking this in 3 weeks. I can't believe it's that much. 75grams for non-pregnant women and 100 grams for prego's...wow.

I took it, and it was 50 grams on the label. I also started gaining weight almost directly after taking it. Plus I am a non dumper, but I actually dumped with it.

 the other day i gave into a craving and had a mini blizzard from DQ...the one i chose says it had about 44 grams of sugar in it, and I JUST tolerated that, I will tell them either half of it or ur doing a blood test.

There is NO way I would take that test!  The fasting draw is the best for us!  Thank goodness my midwife knows this and would never make me take it!

my drink had 50g of glucose and I tolerated it as I have been tolerant to huge amounts of sugars since pregnancy. But my OB did offer loads of other alternatives.

1. just do post parandial blood test 1hr post (finishing a meal)
2. they give you a glucometer/ strips/ sticks and chart and let you measure your own BSs over a period of a week

ultimately - do whatever you are comfortable doing -

 hmm, well the consensus on here seems to be 50grams, maybe my *research* has been defunked lol

I took the test this morning.  It did not taste as bad as I had thought....it made me really full and made me feel bloated. I did not dump but I am six years post op.  About two hours after drinking it I had a bad hypoglycemic episode however that is what usually happens if I make a bad choice and eat too much sugar.
