No, I do not want to drink the “lime-flavor” syrup containing 50 grams of pure glucose in 5 minutes or less. Starting my day off guzzling sugar and then taking the G downtown for a blood test is not the ideal Monday to me. I’m sick of it, the urine cultures and hepatitis and rubella and hemoglobin tests, the nuchal translucency test and AFP screening and thyroid function and Vitamin D test that have all shown that I’m not sick. The glucose tolerance test that requires drinking this syrup is the most uniquely unpleasant one so far and a part of me just wants to skip it.
