Hi Ladies,

I had my GTT , after carbing up for the required 3 days, and fasting for 12 hours.
Any way everything was fine til they gave me the drink, I had it and after a little while, started shaking! It lasted for about 5 mins and I still felt like I was shaking on the inside for ages. I also felt like I was falling asleep all the time (mabie though boredom lol)

What does it all mean? I dont see the endo till the 21st.

Thanks

You're reaction to the "drink" is normal as far as I can see. If you think about how much sugar is in one of those drinks, it only makes since that your body reacts to it that way, not to mention how the "ghouls" keep taking blood from you!

I felt like my heart was racing and then I felt all "loopy" because they drew blood a total of three times I think on me that day...so rest assured, it was a normal reaction.

I was sleepy....and just a bit more loopy than normal

Mr Dr. said it could also be the affect of the blood sugar coming down.
