Mine was orange too, it just tasted like flat sunkist soda with no fizziness. It's not like POW sugar rush or anything like that. Just relax before drinking it, and you have a good hour to relax after taking it too before you need your blood drawn.

don’t worry the drink they have you drink isnt great but it isnt to bad. It’s like a orange flavored sugar water. I just chugged mine to get it over with.

Umm, yeah the drink is really high in sugar. It taste like really super sweet sprite. Carbs is what the body converts to sugar and if your body cant use insulin properly or make enough of it then you end up with a really high blood sugar levels. They just need to see how well your body does converting the sugar in the drink. Just tell whoever is doing the test about your anxiety and maybe tell will be able to help you.

It tastes like flat sprite… Except it’s syrupy and really sweet. It kind of reminded me of cough syrup.
