Glucose Tolerance test...how nasty?

Hi folks. My primary doctor and I believe that I am suffering from hypoglycemia. She ordered a glucose tolerance test for me and explained how inconvenient it is. I'm going away soon so I will probably wait until I return to actually do it. I understand it's like a 12 hour fast and then you have to drink a really really really sweet drink. After an hour, then two, they test your sugar level. I know a non-gastric bypass person who had it done and said she almost threw up because of how sweet it is. If it is that sweet, I'm afraid I will dump (I've been know to dump a time or two) If I throw it up, she said, I'll have to drink it again??? Has anyone gone through this? How did it go for you? Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated. -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 -135
