I have my gestational diabetes test tomorrow but three times in the last few weeks I’ve had what I think are hypos - hot, fainting feeling, eyes going white etc, and then really shaky and out of it.
Has anyone else out of it

Have they put you on any medication for it? Maybe get some advice from your GP. I had my gtt test last week but came back normal

sorry have edited, my test is tomorrow! I’m still out of it from the hypo :(

Usually if they have diagnosed u with GD thyley don't do the test- but if not then the test will give them - however in you case it looks like it's low sugar level so the sugary drink may not really show it. Please speak to a doctor or Ur midwife about it if u can today

I haven’t been diagnosed with it yet, but do have the test tomorrow. Will talk to them about it tomorrow!

I've experienced something like this but my GD test came back fine and it turned out to be caused by low iron instead. Obviously let them know when you get there though as having blood taken can trigger a reaction like that too so they might want to take extra precautions like having you lie on the bed or something. Hope it all goes well x

@Emma I hope your test goes well. Keep us updated

thank you! Me too x

My results came back as normal for GD but my iron is low so that might explain it!
