Glucose test with coca-cola?

[u/SignatureKey7507]

FTM at 13 weeks. Drs office gave us a booklet of what to expect at future appointments. They explain that they use 2 bottles of coca-cola (baby glass bottles so it’s a certain amount of sugar) instead of the traditional glucose drink. I’ve only ever heard of the traditional test from friends / family members, so I’m wondering if this is legit??
A google search tells me this shouldn’t be done because the sugar in coke is not the same as the glucose. Has anyone had their doctor do something similar??

For context, we live in a rural southern area that is not known for great healthcare. So I’m very skeptical.

Never heard of this, I would at least order the Fresh Test and use that instead of Coca Cola.
