    When I had mine a few weeks ago, I got quite faint and my heartrate sped up like it was trying to jump out of my chest. Lasted a few hours. I too worried that it would mean something like diabetes, but nope I was clear!!
    Just a pure sugar high I think!!!!

    Ooh not looking forward to this again! I felt just like you did after the test, sick, dizzy and faint but it ended after a few hours as far as i can remember.

    EEeeeek it is horrid isn't it. I had a similar reaction, but didn't throw up- I thought I was going to pass out or throw up in the waiting room though and looked like a beached whale with my feet up on a seat and head back taking in deep breaths while people waiting for other path lab results and tests stared at the crazy pg lady. I stopped myself from throwing up while I waited though because if I did she said I would have to do it all over again as not having the sugar in my system would affect my results. I hope you are feeling better hun, and I agree that it is a huge sugar rush basically, but keep an eye on it, and definately call your carers if you can't keep anything down. Good luck.

    Thanks ladies,
    I felt soooo bad last night I swear I was going to die or give bith during my vomiting episodes. I'll be so annoyed if I fail this one and have to have another one. The mid wife I spoke to this morning rang me up this afternoon for a follow up just to make sure everything was ok that was really nice of her
