Has anyone had a reaction to the glucose test

Hello,
I had my glucose test yesterday and after drinking the solution I started feeling a little sick, Then when waiting in the room for my blood test I started feeling really bad and faint. All night last night I have been vomiting I rang the mid wife this morning and she said some people can have a reaction to it and try and keep small amounts of food down and water otherwise I have to go in and get hooked up to a drip. Has anyone else had a reaction like this and could it mean that I have developed gestational diabetes?

As far as I know a reaction to the test has nothing to do with having GD or not. I couldn't even take the test with the fizzy drink because one sip made me want to vomit, I had to get them to make up a solution with powder so it wasn't carbonated.

After my GTT I felt tired and lethargic and dizzy. The person drawing the blood just said some peole feel like that, but warned me it was not a good sign.

It ended up that I have type 2 diabetes.

I dont think there is any evidence that shows that a negatvie reaction to the test means you have any form of diabetes though, I think it was the lady speculating

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

Oh so nice of your midwife hun, are you feeling better today??

They're awsome in the program I'm apart of at the hospital. I was feeling sick this morning but very tired and had absolutley no energy Thank you for asking :)
