Hi, I’m having a glucose tolerance test this week - how have people felt afterwards? My midwife has said I might feel rotten afterwards

I’ve felt fine after both mine, had it for both pregnancies just felt hungry😂

I had mine about a week and a half ago now, the test itself was fine, blood sugar finger prick test, followed by bloods, followed by the thickest sweetest syrupy drink. Then after you drink that, you’ve got 2 hours of doing nothing, followed by another set of bloods and you’re done. I felt very tired after wards, probably due to the worlds biggest sugar crash lol 😂 other than no adverse affects other than being tired and very hungry!

I had mine on Monday, I just felt tired and hungry afterwards. Think the not eating till the night before and then sat waiting around for two hours made me sleepy. But nothing a snack and a nap couldn’t fix 😂

My first pregnancy I felt completely fine all day but this time round I felt soo sick for the rest of the day🥴 it was horrible…

I felt absolutely fine after, I was just so hungry! And the drink they gave me was a bit like a capri sun.

My experience was was not good I vomited after drink sweet syrup drink They booked me other appointment

Fine, the drink tasted ok. I just had a banging headache after due to lack of food and drink, so perhaps take something with you so you can eat straight away. Also, was quite tired after but might be due to early get up and not sleeping well. Good luck x

I felt fine until after the 2nd bloods then had the sweats, shakes, palpitations, dizzy and it was because I'd over produced insulin and was having a hypo so on my repeat one they told me to have afew jelly babies after the 2nd test if that happened again to pull blood sugar back up. X

Fine!

I felt very very tired mid afternoon for an hour or 2. I also had a bit of an upset stomache the next day but nothing major. I do have gestational diabetes though so my blood sugar level was very high after the drink and im assuming I had a sugar crash in the afternoon hence being so tired

I felt fine, it’s just a bit boring during the wait!

About an hour in i had fast heart rate felt flush etc. Was OK after a few sips of water. But once I got home I had to sleep the whole afternoon , I felt absolutely shocking, like I was hungover

I’ve had them for all 3 of my pregnancies and the first 2 I felt ok, just very hungry after and didn’t have GD. This time round I felt absolutely awful, really sick, headache, lethargic, just not right at all and it took me a good couple hours to feel ok again, turns out I do have it this time
