Iâm a diabetic, and I can guarantee that the sugar will enter our blood in about 13 to 20 minutes. O-Jay is kinda one of the emergency drinks we diabetics use because of the easy absorption rate. It is very fast. Anything that is liquid sugar will be only minutes to enter your blood stream. OJ, coke, apple juice, lemonade, etc. I donât think it does very much to keep you awake though. People swear children get hyper from earing sugar, but some objective studies I read about 10 years ago that show it isnât true.
This test involves a series of two blood tests taken over a period of two hours. At the beginning of the series you will come to the hospital in the morning and have a blood test before eating anything. You will then be asked to drink a very sweet drink containing glucose and the blood test is repeated after two hours. The test measures how well the body copes with a high dose of sugar. People with diabetes or impaired glucose handling will not be able to donate a kidney.
