I'm worried about my glucose test..

[ColtonsMom]

This morning when I woke up, I forgot all about it. At about 6.30am I had a class of chocolate milk

My appointment with the doctor wasn't until 1:30, and we did my bloodwork at 2 o'clock. However, I am worried about the chocolate milk affecting it.

All I had besides the chocolate milk was a bowl of plain cheerios. My doc gave me a paper with directions on it and it said that the day of the test I should avoid extremely sweet foods.. "like pancakes with syrup, sweetened cereal, tea, fruit juice, candy bars, coke, etc". However, I drink chocolate milk 2-3 times a day.. it's my drink of choice so how much do you think it would affect it?!

Its hard to say, I'm sure it will not to much since you drank it at 6:30am but I'm no doctor.

Did they not give your results right way? if so where they good or bad?
(if you dont mind me asking.)

If I was really worried about how they came back I would tell my doctor and see if I redo the test another day.


Keep us posted.

I didn't get my results right away. They told me they would call if anything came back abnormal to set up a date for the other testing.

Thanks, I thought about mentioning it to the doctor, but I didn't know if it would affect it, and I didnt want to tell them I forgot all about hte test and whatnot. I thought that maybe it wouldn't since I drink chocolate milk all the time and I figured it might not affect my sugar levels abnormally since I should be used to it. But I dont know, I dont know much about that stuff.

Yeah well, I have learned that its never really too good of an idea to keep things from your doc. altough this isnt major yet... and might not ever be.

Thats weird that you didnt get the results today, I did.... but mine were not too good.


Well just see what happpens cause either way good/bad you want the right results so you came get help if you need it and never have to think twice if you dont need it, ya know?

I'm sure its fine, I don't think chocolate milk would affect it much, if at all. Especially since your appointment was at 2:00. Hope everything turns out ok!

I didnt get my results the same day. I had to ring up the following day I think it was.

Good luck. X

Besides, if it does come back positive i'd mention it. Perhaps they would test you again to get specific results x
