I posted this, because I knew that some people do use Lucozade,
despite
its disadvantages; this lab does not! However, if labs are
using it, it
seems important to at least try to use the correct volume.
In fact, I
don't think that the usual formulations do use caffeine - but
obviously
do contain CO2.

for GTT
I understood Lucozade was NOT recommended by WHO for OGTTs
because it
contains carbonated water and caffeine - both elements
variably
affecting glucose absorption and metabolism.
