The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a glucose screening test between weeks 24 to 28 to screen for gestational diabetes. Unfortunately, this involves drinking a super-syrupy 50-gram glucose beverage in a short amount of time. For some, this can prove less than appealing—and even downright nauseating. While some studies have suggested the use of jelly beans or Twizzlers, the results are mixed. That said, if you’ve previously had gestational diabetes, your doctor might recommend you skip straight to testing your blood sugar with a glucometer, if you can’t handle the drink.
