Is it normal to feel horrible hours after the glucose test?

[TMonster]

I just had my 1 hour glucose test today. They wouldn't let me drink any water during the test even though it made me feel hot and faint. She could barely draw my blood I was so dehydrated. It took 2 arms and 2 hands till she finally got it. I had the drink at 8, had my blood drawn at 9 its 10:30 now and I still feel queasy.

I tried to eat and drink a bit but it just made me feel sick.

Should I be worried that I might be diabetic?

I have no risk factors but this reaction doesnt seem normal.

No hun , it took me two days to feel myself again, i was quiet tired and i passed my GTT so don worry

Sugars might be high. I have gestational diabetes and I felt really bad after doing the glucose test

 

[Luvmama]

Yes I felt like if taken a beating afterwards ! Tired sick anxious more sick more tired...

I felt sick the whole day after my 1-hour, and even worse after my 3-hour. I passed the 3-hour so it doesn't necessarily mean you have diabetes.

I felt like total crap the rest of the day after taking the test--was dizzy, sick to my stomach, tired, really really thirsty. I was so worried that it meant I had gd, but I passed the test. So no, it's not really a measure of whether or not you have it.

I was tired after my 1 hr and after my 3 hr (which I passed) I felt hot, dizzy,( almost passed out during the test) sick to my stomache, thirsty and no energy for 2 days :/

I had a really nasty headache after drinking it, and felt queasy for most of the evening.(Mine was done as a surprise after my appointment last week at 6pm) I did pass my test, but I was worried much like you that I was going to fail because of how I felt, so hopefully yours will turn out the same!

I had mine this morning aswell drabk half the bottle then was sick its disgusting. Because they didnt know how much i had actually taken they have told me to go in again thursday morning but ive felt rubbish after it tired dizzy and some stomach cramps x

 

[BubblesBump]

Oh no, I have mine in an hour! Hope it goes smoothly. I don't remember how I felt after taking it last time.
Hope you feel better. I don't think that tiredness means diabetes though.

I was so sick after my GTT on both pregnancies....felt awful & went to bed for the rest of the day both times! But I passed them both times too!

I felt like total crap the whole day too! They told me to try eating something with lots of protein instead of carbs/sugars because that'll make you feel worse.

I felt perfectly fine after my 1hr....amazingly fine, actually. But I failed it.

Felt HORRIBLE after the 3-hr (and had to call in sick to work) but passed with flying colors. Go fig.

 

[angel2010]

Oh no, this really worries me! I have a lunch date planned with a friend I haven't seen in a while a couple hours after

 

[missbabes]

I personally just felt a bit nauseated for a couple of minutes after having that evil drink, mostly though I just felt extremely tired for the rest of the day, to the point where I had to have a nap, something I rarely give into.

 

[phrumkidost]

I also felt terrible after mine! I had to lie down while I was waiting for them to draw my blood. The rest of the day and part of the next day I was useless. But I also passed.

 

[TMonster]

Well... I started feeling better yesterday evening. This morning I got my result back. I passed. I am sooooo grateful because the thought of doing that test again is horrible.

My level was 100 and anything under 130 is passing.

 

[craftymama]

Yay Glad you're feeling better!

 

[J.D.]

Congrats. And in case anyone else is searching on this, I felt fine after my 3 hour test (didn't do a 1 hour, risk factors put me straight into the 3 hour test) and I failed miserably at 20 weeks.

How you feel after the test is not a good indicator.

I threw up all over the waiting room and ladies bathroom after mine
