side effects off the glucose stuff?

mtkelley · September 2009

did anyone else have any side effects after drinking the liquid for the glucose test? or is this just all in my head?

Didn't really feel much after the one-hour. But when I did the 3-hour I felt nauseous and dizzy after the second blood draw.

tasted like orange soda

I was nauseus and dizzy during the test and blood draw, but afterwards once I ate I was fine. What kind of effects do you think youre having?

well afternoon i drank the liquid, had my blood drawn(which i felt a little nauseated during the process, but not too bad), went and ate a late lunch... but when i got in the car after eating i had got so nauseated that i had to pull over bc i thought i was going to throw up. i wasnt sure if it was normal after drinking that liquid or if maybe i was just feeling bad. then when i got home my stomach was real upset. i feel a million times better right now, but was just concerned

It made me super dizzy but I passed it

There's like 1/2 cup of sugar in the glucose drink. If you're not used to having that much, you're bound to feel a bit sick.

I was fine after the 1 hour but felt sick almost immediately after drinking the 2 hour drink. They offered me a room to lie down in between blood draws.

I was a little nauseous during the 3 hour... but it also gave me lower GI issues.

If they had you fast, it's probably because your body was low on nutrients. If you didn't fast, it was probably a crash from all the sugar in the drink. Pretty normal!

I was dizzy for about 30 min after drinking it but that's it. BTW, you have a PM Smile

It really upset my tummy for most of the afternoon after I took it. I'm not used to that much sugar so I guess that's why. I'm just glad it didn't ruin orange soda for me; I love that stuff.

I felt crummy all day which my doc said is pretty normal...just nauseated and kinda blah

SymphonyGirl · September 2009

I did the 3 hour yesterday and felt terrible all day after. I was nauseated during the first hour of the test and then later in the day I just felt hugely tired. I think it was the 4 blood draws and fasting in the morning. At last week's OB appointment, they said I had low iron/anemia, so I think that contributed to the exhausted feeling. I also threw up yesterday afternoon for the first time in a long time. yuck.

i kinda felt nauseous and dizzy. To me it was the worst taste in the world. I don't usually drink anything with sugar in it, I even water down juice b/c i think its too sweet. I thought I was gonna puke while the nurse was watching me drink it.

amos07 · September 2009

I didn't really feel that different after drinking it. I was shaking a bit while I drank it but after I drank it I felt fine. The only thing I remember is being really tired about 2-3 hours after drinking it.

same here.. but the last hour of the three hour test they let me take a nap in one empty office

coconutbug · September 2009

I felt extremely tired after the one hour, but passed.

TeamRey · September 2009

I didn't have any for the one hour. For the three hour I felt a little blah, but I think that was because I couldn't eat anything until the afternoon.
