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 -

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.
