Glucose Tolerence Test
Posted: 04-05-05 00:03am

Hi, can anyone tell me what is 'normal'' for this test. I had a 5 hour test yesterday and felt really ill and hypo after 2 hours. The nurse did 6 blood draws and also did 3 glucometer readings. They were 5.5 fasting ( some symptoms), 1 hour later felt really good, 2 hours ok , 3 hours later starting to feel hypo ( 7.6), and 4 hours felt worse ( 4.5), and 5 hours felt slightly worse again. I see the dr in 2 weeks. Do the glucometer readings mean anything re hypoglecemia ? I felt really ill after the test.

I went on the atkins type diet once many years ago and felt wonderful. But gradually slipped back into 'normal' food again - sandwiches, pasta, then got hungrier and shakier and now have to eat every 2 hours or I feel like I am going to collapse. I wake at night hungry too.

Thanks.
