Bellavicious I got lucky that my Dr didn't have me fast for it! But even though I had a protein packed breakfast all that sugar still made me feel so gross, and I still feel off and it's now 8 hours later

Yes! I nearly fainted. Think about it. You cannot eat for HOURS. Then suddenly you have to down this super sugary drink, not to mention they are taking blood(which makes me light headed alone) I think it's normal, it happened with all 3 if my glucose tests

I felt light headed, weak, jittery, and like my heart was racing. I felt sick the whole rest of the day. I passed but by 1 point.

I didn't necessarily feel lightheaded but it definitely made me feel like crap for the rest of the day. I took one at 8 weeks and just had another one today.
