I'm sure this is the result of the glucola, but I am sooooo tired and run down this morning. I had the glucola at 8am, and the exhaustion just hit me at 9am when they took my blood. When will it wear off? I just want to lie down and nap but I'm at work...

That is perfectly normal. They hit your body with an overload of sugar and then it all wears off and you are at a sugar low which makes you well tired and sometimes weak. I would suggest having something to eat and keep your fluids up.

Uh oh, not looking forward to this. I have to ingest the glucose in 1.5 hours- yuck! Hope you are feeling better soon songbird!

3 hours later (and after a lunch of pb&j) and I'm doing much better. Still could use a nap but I think I'll get some work done too.

Good luck on your test penstamon!

uh oh, sugar crash. You did the right thing... getting the pb&j.

Ugh, that drink made me feel groggy all day, even after eating food and drinking tons of water. I passed, and I was pretty sure I was going to, but if I hadn't I would have opted out of the 3 hour and done a finger prick instead.

You got your results? Congrats on passing!

I was wiped out all day after the test. In fact, I am on a dance team at a church and we had a performance that night. I did the test at 7am in the morning, so I knew I would need a nap. But, I slept hard and long. To the point that my dance leader called me and said, "Where are you? You do know we had practice like 30 minutes ago." I got there really late and was still very groggy during practice and was not even 100% when we performed. I felt illish. The next day I was better.

curious&eager, that was my experience exactly. in the middle of the work day I went out to my car, thinking I'd do a 20 minute power nap. I crashed and slept for an hour! I was supposed to go to a classical music concert last night and I just stayed home and vegged out on the couch watching a Harry Potter movie with dh. I'm glad I didn't go and took care of myself though. I feel WORLDS better today.
