I was still sick the day after (which was yesterday). I felt like I got hit by a truck. I feel a lot better today!

What does the GD text intel? I have my Glucose scheduled for Aug 2nd, is that when they do it or is that another test?

Yes! I was super exhausted and pretty cranky the rest of the day - gotta love that sugar crash!. My rec is to drink lots of water, have some fruit juice, and just relax and go to bed early. You will feel better in the morning!

I passed, but after a 10 hour fast and then the test, I could just never seem to get my body on the right page for the rest of the day. The day after though I was fine.

Same thing. Some people have to fast before theirs, I did not have to.

I just had to chug the glucose drink - mine was orange flavored and was like drinking thicker, flat, super sweet orange soda. My days of doing shots long ago came in handy on that one! Then you wait for a half hour, and they draw your blood.

Not sure if anyone else had further stuff done for it, but that was my experience. The exhaustion I felt later that day was way worse than the actual drinking the stuff and test itself.
