Eat a protein breakfast before you drink the glucola. Your ingredients should consist of eggs, meat, cheese and water only. You may subtract from this list as long as you eat, but do not add to the list. Do not skip breakfast.
It is helpful to keep the glucola in the refrigerator (or you may place it in the freezer for one hour) before you drink it. It tastes better cold.
It is very important to drink the entire bottle (10 oz.) ALL AT ONCE over a 5-minute period.
DO NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING EXCEPT WATER after drinking the glucola. You may resume a normal diet after your blood has been drawn.
You need to have your blood drawn one hour after finishing the drink. We recommend that you start drinking the glucola 45 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment.
When you check in for your appointment, please let the receptionist know what time you finished your glucola drink!!!!
