2 hour glucose test - bad reaction

legaleagles

I know when PG you have the 1 hour and then 3 hour if necessary...but due to the suspected PCOS my RE ordered a 2 hour - I just got home from it to pick up my lunch and drop off my computer at home, and I'm feeling really bad...I'm clammy, sweaty, my heart feels like it's racing and my hands are really shakey. It was fasting so I hadn't eaten, but I just ate some oatmeal and its just getting worse. The shakes are awful and I feel so icky. Is this normal? did you ahve a similar reaction 2ish hours after you drank the orange potion? Any thoughts? There is no way I can drive like this right now...uggh

I was nauseated after my 3hr test. I just can't do that much sugar on an empty stomach. I think you did the right thing by eating something. I'd wait it out if you can at home and lie down for a bit.

I'm sorry you feel so crummy. It will be over soon.

No advice or thoughts. Just popping in to say I'm sorry you're not having a good reaction.

I didn't have to fast before my test.  So sorry you're feeling crappy.  Hope its fleeting!

Absolutely lie down and if it doesn't get better or you feel a worse, call the advice nurse.  I'm sorry you are dealing with this!

  So sorry you're not feeling well.  I hope it gets better soon...I would think eating something would (hopefully) help.  Keep us posted.

Do you have any protein items you could eat (nuts, cheese, protein bar, etc)? 

That was the tip someone told me was to eat some protein RIGHT after the test was done...I felt bad after the test but felt better after some protein and water.
