Im 29 weeks pregnant and was supposed to have my routine 28 week blood glucose test, but i was throwing up and couldn’t keep down the sugary drink that’s needed for the test. I’ve had severe nausea and vomiting my entire pregnancy. What if this keeps happening and i don’t get the test? How long can i leave it without the results being affected. Is there any other way of testing for it without my needing to drink that disgusting sugar water?

I usually get frequent headaches and other symptoms of Hypoglycemia throughout the day and recently started using my roommates’ blood glucose monitor. I do not know what my level should be but I average 82 around 7pm and have seen my level drop to below 50 mid day. Should I be concerned and schedule an appointment about this?

i’m going to be standing up for at least 3 and a half hours, and i really don’t want to collapse during it so, so what should i eat before it? and do i need to take any vitamins? if so, which ones?

Why when you go to the doctor to take a blood test, they give you some kind of drink (mine was orange)that has a lot of sugar in it? i mean if someone had serious diabetes, and they drink that, it would not be good for them?

My Pug is due in two weeks, and I’ve read a couple things out of the UK (I’m in the USA) that says you can give her diabetic liquid glucose during labor to give her some extra energy. Has anyone done this and had good results?

I’m not diabetic, as far as I know. I took part in a psychology experiment at uni (I was asked to drink a cup of squash, and my blood glucose levels were taken every 10 mins - this was the last reading, taken 30 mins after I drank) the reasearcher recommended I go see a doctor, because that was too high. I did, and she arranged a fasting blood-glucose test, and said I might have IGT (impaired glucose tolerance) and might need monitoring. The test came back normal, and I went back to the doctors (this was all at the student health service, where they see a billion people a day, and you almost always see a different doctor) and she basically told me there was no problem. BUT I’ve since googled it, and apparently high blood glucose isn’t very good for you, long term - heart problems can result, etc. So now I’m a bit worried, and wondering if maybe I should go see my own doctor, now that I’m back home from uni? Or am I being a complete hypochondriac?
Sorry for the really long question guys, and thanks!

thanx in advance!
i am studying physiology! helps plz!

Is it a blood test or something else? I’m wondering because I’m tired most of the time & I’m hungry even when I eat. I’m not overweight. Are those symptoms that fit the description? Thanks =]

Hi. I’m looking for consumer reports/ guides or magazines related to the Diabetes field. (If possible it should deal with blood glucose monitors)

On my next doctors appointment I have to do the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. I know I have to drink this liquid but what does it taste like and what exactly am I drinking? Do all pregnant women take this test?

my husband thinks he has diabetes and wants to get tested. he is a truck driver and never knows when hes going to be home to go to the doctors.

now can we go to the store and buy a test and check to see if he does..or does he need to get blood tests done at the doctors…

I barely failed the 1 hour glucose test at 20 weeks and took the 3 hour glucose tolerance test and passed it. It was a really bad experience for me, as I was so sick to my stomach the whole time and nearly threw up several times. My doctor wants me to take it again now at 28 weeks (I had a small amount of glucose in my urine after I drank juice before my appointment). I have tried twice and ended up throwing up the drink before the first hour ended. I have been testing and charting my blood sugar levels and they are fine, but my doctor insists I must do the test. How many times should I try when the drink obviously does not agree with me? Is there some reason I must have an official diagnosis of gestational diabetes, or is strict home-monitoring enough to make sure my baby and I are healthy? I have asked my doctor this, but of course she says the test is the only choice.

Yeast can produce ATP through either fermentation or aerobic respiration, depending on whether oxygen is present. If oxygen is present, yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly than if oxygen is absent. How can you explain this observation?
