3rd Trimester
So what does it mean, when you pass out after your Glucose test?
I had my routine glucose test today... I'm not one to really eat sweets, or drink soda of any kind (more of a milk and water girl)... So I took the drink they gave me.. about 40 minutes of waiting later I got really really fuzzy, lightheaded and nauseated... they took my blood, and I pretty much passed out, was SO disoriented.
They took my Blood pressure and I was 105/73 which I dunno what that means. It took an hour before I could get up and walk without feeling like I was going to faint.
So.. I hope that's not an indication of not passing the test :S

That's not necessarily an indicator of whether you passed/failed the test.
It's probably more along the lines of the fact that your body just isn't used to having sweets (as you said yourself).
I don't know. Did you have to fast before the test? Maybe the combo of fasting, a sugary drink and getting blood drawn was to much?
Sounds to me like your blood sugar went too low, rather than high. When was the last time you ate something? I have no idea what it means, so I'm interested to read the responses. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
105/73 is not a low blood pressure for most...unless yours is usually much higher.
I had the same reaction (and blood pressure) as you did during the 3 hour test, and I passed. I don't think its any indication of how you did, it's pretty common to feel this way during the test (at least that's what my dr said)
Good luck with passing!
I didn't have to fast, but I hadn't had anything to eat since 9am.. my test was at 11:20.. I passed out at about 12:30...
I came home and devoured all things protein along with a huge glass of ice cold milk.. Felt gross about eating, but man, that's what my body was telling me to do, and I feel SO much better.
It was just really wierd. My results will be back probably Monday. So, fingers crossed till then.
I got nauseus and light headed too. Then I was starving all day. I ended up with a raging headache and I was in a really crappy mood. No passing out though. I did pass the test. I think your body just isn't used to that concentration of sugar that quickly.
Feel better!
I wasn't allowed to eat anything for 8 hours before taking the test. I felt sick too, and the nurse told me to "hold the urge to throw up" because they make you start all over again the next day if you do!
