Glucose tolerance tests are awful

[cjsmith]

The bad news: the orange drink is so nasty I gagged. Twice.
The bad news: bruises on both arms.
The sort-of-good news: only one bruise on each arm, after multiple pokes.
The good news: it's over and I'm at work now!

I think I lost about a cup of blood.* The glucose tolerance test wasn't the only thing the doctor ordered; the first draw was something like seven vials... and she forgot one, so the second draw wasn't two, it was three... and the other two draws were two. I need a steak.

*edit: that's an exaggeration.

I swear I must be the only person who doesn't think that orange drink isn't nasty. Although I do admit, it tastes better cold.

That might be the difference. Anything nasty tastes better cold, which is why meal replacement drinks and stuff like Mr. Pibb should be served well chilled. My orange drink was room temp.
