I have an appt Tuesday with Gastro group to talk about colonoscopy. I'm not sure I can make it thru the rigorous prep. I have other unanswered problems (type II diabetes, high blood sugar that tends me toward dehydration, etc.) that I am worried about. Thanks for the reply.

I agree with JoAnn, In my opinion Cologuard is not a great test. I had one in 2021 that was negative. I was living my life normally for a 77 yr old lady with type 2 Diabetes. To make a long story shorter, I had an emergency colonoscopy and found a 5 cm colon cancer. After having part of my colon removed, I am now am fine but will need regular surveillance. If you have a positive Cologuard, you will need a colonoscopy anyway. Always get the test with the best success by the person who does the best.
The prep is a PAIN, you are correct. But, drink plenty using the electrolyte drinks that are readily available and dehydration will not be a problem.
