Reply To: Glucose test

[Ryann Kipping]

Hey! Did you go back in for the 3 hour test yet? The glucose drink doesn’t sit well with MOST people so the jittery/grumpy feelings are somewhat normal. It’s basically testing how well your body responds to a high amount of glucose at once which is not something we really want our bodies to undergo, but it does give us insight into how our blood sugar/insulin response is. It’s important to focus on getting enough protein at each meal and choosing complex carbs like sweet potatoes and strawberries.
