Hi guys just thought I'd update. Called my doctors today and all's I was told is that my blood test results were fine and no further action was needed. It doesn't explain my excessive thirst although I guess it's just got to be triggered by anxiety. :/ Thanks for all the help/reassurance over...

Oh yeah the doctor also did a HBA1C test aswell, can this detect reactive hypoglycemia or can only a GTT do that? I think reactive hypoglycemia could be something considered for me because every 3-4 hours I do get hungry and start to get symptoms. Cheers

Yeh massive relief that it's out of the way. Hopefully I won't be needing another one anytime soon!

I just got back from the blood test - I was 15 minutes earlier than the full 12 hours but I don't think it matters much? Before I went to the hospital I tested my blood sugar levels on a spare meter my grandma has, the machine said my level was 5.0 which I think is pretty good? But I guess the...

If it is actually something like reactive hypoglycemia I have then I guess it wouldn't be safe to go this 12 hours? Can this fasting blood test have a definate mark between reactive hypoglycemia, normal and diabetes? Cheers

I guess the anxiety just makes the symptoms worse for me, just feel woozy and it feels like I've got an inner tremor, and it feels like I just aren't fully awake at all. My stomachs burning. Not nice, still 3 hours to go. :/

I woke up this morning feeling very hungry and I've still got another 3 hours to go before I can go for the test. It feels like my blood sugar levels are really low, I don't know how long I'll be able to go until my body forces me to have something to eat. :(

Thanks for the reassurance folks. Just when tomorrow comes I know I'm going to wake up with gnawing hunger and it's gonna feel horrible, but it's gotta be done! Hopefully it'll all be OK. Cheers

So even if I WAS diabetic and I went 12 hours without eating I'd be fine to do this test? I know it sounds silly but I just see my self flipping into a hypo.

Thanks guys, I'm going to give it a go tomorrow, if I start to feel ****** though I'll have to call it off till next week. I hate having health anxiety because it makes simple things turn into big things. To be honest I've pretty much applied a low G.I diet for the last 2 years or so purely...

I'm a 20 year old male and for the past 3 years I've always been worried about being a diabetic. I've had symptoms like thirst, frequent urination, and feeling hungry very fast after eating a meal. Over the years 3 years I've never had a fasting glucose test, I once purchased a blood glucose...
