Subject: Glucose testing ?

Lab did give her a 50 mg _____, which she drink one hour before her blood test.


This pt. is doing a glucose test but sounds like dictator is stating a 50 mg glucotrol.  Is there something else this could be?  From the research I could find this does not sound right, unsure if I am missing something....TIA
