Just so you guys know, the GTT isn't really all that valid for us. The sugars are absorbed more rapidly (since it doesn't sit in your stomach and goes right into the intestine). By the time the hour is up, you have already spiked and are on your way down. I refused the test both times and check my blood sugars regularly...but I am also uber careful with what I eat.

Oh, and it is a 5 oz bottle...probably 50 g of glucose.
